?????????? ????????? [MALEN'KIE TRAGEDII]

Favorski, Vladimir; Pushkin, Alexanderl [Favorsky, Vladimir]

Verlag: ???-?? ?????. ???-??, Moscow, 1961

First edition thus, a collection of four short plays by Pushkin with atmospheric woodcut illustrations by multifaceted artist Vladimir Favorski one of Favorski's final works. Russian graphic artist, art critic, and woodcut illustrator Vladimir Favorsky (also transliterated as Favorski) blended the traditional and the modern in his art. He helmed the Russian state art and technical school Vkhutemas often compared in style and philosophy to Bauhaus as rector during a tumultuous period in the 1920s, during which he resisted government efforts to mandate the artistic methods and styles of the students. Favorsky's perspective shines through in his extensive oeuvre of book illustrations; he was particularly fond of the codex as a vehicle for art, noting that "the book can serve simultaneously as an example of wholeness of design and variety of content" (Molok, 242). Favorsky's high-contrast, emotional illustrations are a perfect match for Alexander Pushkin's TRAGEDIES, comprised of "Mozart and Salieri," "The Miserly Knight," "The Stone Guest," and "A Feast During the Plague." 10.25'' x 8''.
