Russia was split into antagonistic worlds, and the deft manipulation of public opinion was integral to the violent class struggle. Having seized power in 1917, the Bolsheviks immediately recognized posters as a critical means to tout the revolution’s triumph. Posters supplied the new iconography, converting Communist aspirations into readily accessible, urgent, public art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConstructing Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e explores the remarkable and wide-ranging body of propaganda posters as an artistic consequence of the 1917 revolution. Marking the revolution’s centennial, this book delves into a relatively short-lived era of unprecedented experimentation and utopian idealism that produced some of the most iconic images in the history of graphic design. The book surveys genres and methods of early Soviet poster design and introduces the most prominent artists of the movement. Reflecting the turbulent and ultimately tragic history of Russia in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, it charts the formative decades of the USSR and demonstrates the tight bond between Soviet art and ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKristina A.

Russia was split into antagonistic worlds, and the deft manipulation of public opinion was integral to the violent class struggle. Having seized power in 1917, the Bolsheviks immediately recognized posters as a critical means to tout the revolution’s triumph. Posters supplied the new iconography, converting Communist aspirations into readily accessible, urgent, public art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConstructing Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e explores the remarkable and wide-ranging body of propaganda posters as an artistic consequence of the 1917 revolution. Marking the revolution’s centennial, this book delves into a relatively short-lived era of unprecedented experimentation and utopian idealism that produced some of the most iconic images in the history of graphic design. The book surveys genres and methods of early Soviet poster design and introduces the most prominent artists of the movement. Reflecting the turbulent and ultimately tragic history of Russia in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, it charts the formative decades of the USSR and demonstrates the tight bond between Soviet art and ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKristina A.

But, intriguingly, macabre images proliferated in precisely this period: unsettling depictions of Death personified, of decaying bodies, of young lovers struck down in their prime. While the explicit goal of these memento mori was to remind viewers of life’s fragility and convince them of the urgent need to turn away from earthly pursuits, many of these objects also embraced the material pleasures of life, as they were elegantly crafted and composed of luxurious materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorbid themes run riot in the remarkable array of artworks featured in \u003cem\u003eThe Ivory Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e. Nearly 200 illustrated artworks—from ivory prayer beads and gem-encrusted jewelry to exquisitely carved table sculptures and printed imagery—present us with an aspect of this era that is at once darker and more familiar than we might have expected. In the midst of an increasingly complex and uncertain world, Renaissance artists turned to poignant, often macabre imagery to address the critical human concern of acknowledging death, while striving to create a personal legacy that might outlast it. The essays gathered here discuss the development and significance of this transformative art of the past, while exploring themes that are still relevant today: how does one navigate the implicit tension between mortality and morality and seek to balance individual pleasure with the pursuit of a greater good? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Perkinson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Peter M.

But, intriguingly, macabre images proliferated in precisely this period: unsettling depictions of Death personified, of decaying bodies, of young lovers struck down in their prime. While the explicit goal of these memento mori was to remind viewers of life’s fragility and convince them of the urgent need to turn away from earthly pursuits, many of these objects also embraced the material pleasures of life, as they were elegantly crafted and composed of luxurious materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorbid themes run riot in the remarkable array of artworks featured in \u003cem\u003eThe Ivory Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e. Nearly 200 illustrated artworks—from ivory prayer beads and gem-encrusted jewelry to exquisitely carved table sculptures and printed imagery—present us with an aspect of this era that is at once darker and more familiar than we might have expected. In the midst of an increasingly complex and uncertain world, Renaissance artists turned to poignant, often macabre imagery to address the critical human concern of acknowledging death, while striving to create a personal legacy that might outlast it. The essays gathered here discuss the development and significance of this transformative art of the past, while exploring themes that are still relevant today: how does one navigate the implicit tension between mortality and morality and seek to balance individual pleasure with the pursuit of a greater good? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Perkinson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Peter M.
