<p>At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a <strong>particular cultural Zeitgeist</strong>. This book brings together <strong>250 posters</strong> from the <strong> Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s</strong> to explore the <strong>energy and invention of this period</strong>, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.<br/><br/>Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of <strong>27 different artists</strong>. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively <strong>eschew the glamour of Hollywood</strong> for more <strong>stark, striking, even challenging images</strong>, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.</p>
