This book shows 250 film posters from the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s, revealing a surprising world of innovative aesthetics. With bold colors, dramatic angles, and eye-catching typography, these designs reveal the experimental avant-garde of the early USSR, before Soviet Realism became official art doctrine.
The selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
Written by Susan Pack. Published by Taschen in 2026. Hardcover, measures 8.5 x 6.1 inches, 512 pages. ISBN 9783754405543
