Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Born just nine years apart in Ukraine and Siberia, respectively, Louise Nevelson and Esphyr Slobodkina were both children of Jewish families who fled Russian governmental repression and conflict. Both made early marriages of convenience or convention that were short-lived. Both went to New York in the 1920s, struggling to become artists amid the Great Depression. Both overcame the accepted modes of making, moving between art forms in expansive, category-defying ways. The parallels are poignant, including their similarly fearless devotion to abstract art in an era that had yet to fully embrace it. Architects of Being pays homage to these two women who were direct and dauntless. Fittingly, this book draws its title from Nevelsons insight that theres something very important about character: character is structure. Character is the architecture of the being. The connection between inner self and outward manifestationboth ones art and ones self-fashioningis at the heart of Architects of Being. This richly illustrated and expertly researched exhibition catalog celebrates Nevelsons and Slobodkinas artistic journeys and architectural affinities, expanding our understanding of how these pioneering figures dissolved boundaries between art forms in ways that prefigured what we see throughout the art world today. Issued in connection with an exhibition held Oct. 3, 2025-Jan 11, 2026, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, Little Rock, Arkansas. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Soviet Salvage, Catherine Walworth explores how artists on the margins of the Constructivist movement of the 1920s rejected elitist media and imagined a new world, knitting together avant-garde art, imperial castoffs, and everyday life.Applying anthropological models borrowed from Claude Levi-Strauss, Walworth shows that his mythmaker typologiesthe engineer and bricoleurillustrate, respectively, the canonical Constructivists and artists on the movements margins who deployed a wide range of clever make-do tactics. Walworth explores the relationships of Nadezhda Lamanova, Esfir Shub, and others with Constructivists such as Aleksei Gan, Varvara Stepanova, and Aleksandr Rodchenko. Together, the work of these artists reflected the chaotic and often contradictory zeitgeist of the decade from 1918 to 1929 and redefined the concept of mass production. Reappropriated fragments of a former enemy era provided a wide range of play and possibility for these artists, and the resulting propaganda porcelain, film, fashion, and architecture tell a broader story of the unique political and economic pressures felt by their makers.An engaging multidisciplinary study of objects and their makers during the Soviet Unions early years, this volume highlights a group of artists who hover like free radicals at the border of existing art-historical discussions of Constructivism and deepens our knowledge of Soviet art and material culture. Examines how Russian Constructivist artists in the 1920s imagined a new physical environment through the creation of recycled and reappropriated objects.
