Yulia Karpova

Comradely objects

Design and material culture in Soviet Russia, 1960s-80s

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet design. It argues that the 'comradely objects' of Russian productivism were not just shabby copies of western commodities - they were agents of progressive social relations with a discernible inheritance from the 1920s avant-garde.
