16178. Union der Sozialistischen Sowjet-Republiken. Katalog des Sowjet - Pavilions auf der Internationalalen Presse -Ausstellung Koln 1928. Soviet Union. Komitet Sovetskogo pavil╒ona na Mezhdunarodnoi vystavke pechati, Koln 1928. 1981. 111 p., contains an approx. 40 leaf photomontage by El Lissitzky, 8 1/4 x 6 in., reprint, German, paperback. front cover has some fading, 1/2 in tear along front cover hinge fold, very good. $235.00 Photography, Russia, El Lissitzky, Construcitism The reprint of this catalog is rare. The catalog of the exhibitions in the Soviet pavillion at the 1928 International Press Exposition in Cologne, Germany, is a notable expression of Constructivism, an art movement developed by the Russians in the early 1920s. Constructivism sought to extend the formal language of abstract art into practical design work. It is marked by the dynamic use of geometric forms and, in exhibition design, by the integration of three-dimensional display structures with photomontage and lettering. Both the Soviet pavillion and its catalog were designed by the artist, El Lissitzky (1890-1941), a leading Constructivist. An almost startling feature of the catalog is its 91-inch, accordion-fold photomontage, whose scenes, depicting daily life, work and industry in the USSR, are keyed with superimposed numbers to passages in the catalog's text.
