Description
Small volume of movement study drawings in a Constructivist and Cubist-influenced style. Oblong octavo (6 3/4 x 10 3/8 inches). Original printed wrappers. Light browning, minor soiling to covers, small areas of wear and loss along edges and spine, some staining near staples, light scattered spotting to interior, overall very good. Leningrad: n.p., 1929. Little is known about the artist who created these images. However, there is a three-page introduction that precedes the 48 figure studies titled "Synthesis of Form, Dynamics of Action, Rhythm of Lines", in which Vekstein discusses the sense of movement he instilled into some of his drawings. He mentions the curves of the figures of laundresses echoing the curves of the iron and the fabric, or the swing of the shovel, scythe, or hammer by a worker. Other rounded lines evoke music, speed, or vibration. The studies are clearly taking inspiration from Constructivist and Cubist art in their style and interpretation. A fascinating sketchbook; as of April 2024, we could find no records of this work on OCLC.
