About This Item
Octavo 20x14cm., original decorated cloth, 176pp., 10000 copies. Book design with 8 double-sided photgravures by Solomon Telingater. "The Five-Year Plan" is a major poem. The author Semen Kirsanov (1906-1972) established the Southern Association of Futurists as a teenage poet, and apprenticed under Mayakovsky and Aseev. He was a strong promoter and member of LEF, and felt that he had inherited Mayakovsky's torch after the latter's death in 1930. At that time Mayakovsky had sketched a beginning to the plan and Kirsanov felt the urgency to complete it for him in a paeon to the vision of Lenin and Stalin and the forthcoming triumph of their aims. He collaborated with the design wizard S.B. Telingater (1903-69) here, who provides a stunning example of Constructivist book design, with photomontages and typography living up to the aspirations of the poem. OCLC locates seven North American holdings. Getty 331. Provenance: S. Polivanskii, N.A. Drachev, with their bookplates and stamps. Near fine with slight edgewear.
