In the early 1920s, many Russian artists became interested in textile design. They saw this functional activity as an exciting avenue for artistic experimentation, a valuable discipline for the practical application of Constructivist ideas. Griun, Burylin, Raitser, Maslov, Preobrazhenskaya, Stepanova, Popova, Khvostanko, Mazarevskaya, and Antonova were some of the well-known artists who turned their talents to this form of expression. Originally meant for purely practical purposes, these textiles are now treasured as works of art in their own right. Vibrant and inventive, the dazzling patterns still seem refreshingly new and modern, despite the frequent presence of outmoded revolutionary symbols in the later examples. Once mass-produced, many of these fabrics exist today only as fragments in Soviet museums and have never been seen by Western eyes. Their beauty is amply evident here, however, in the ninety-seven handsome color plates with which this book is illustrated. In the brief but authoritative text, I. Yasinskaya analyzes the significance of these designs in relation to the movements of their time. In the introduction John E. Bowit pays tribute to the qualities that have enabled these creations to transcend their initial utilitarian purposes and endure as fine examples of dynamic design. 106 pages. Textile design--Soviet Union--History--20th century, Constructivism (Art)--Soviet Union.
