Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. One of the lesser-known aspects of the artistic revolution that accompanied the early years of the Soviet state is the work of the country's ceramics factories during that time. Russia already had a large and thriving industry producing fine china, when the order came down to decorate large inventories of blanks with propaganda. The results are visible here, in this collection of striking and unusual designs. Color illus. 160p.

Publisher's boards, pictorial dustjacket. Fine. London, Studio Vista / Cassell, 1990. 8vo. 160 pp. Illustrated, mostly in colour. With index, artist's biographies, signatures and marks, initials and monograms, factory marks, and bibliography. Subdivided into sections about Agit Pieces, Symbolic and Commemorative Pieces, Figurines, Taditional Themes, Russian Folklore, and the Avant Garde. - - - "The period following the Russian Revolution, from 1917 to the late 1920s, was one of breathtaking creativity amongst Soviet artists and designers, who strove enthusiastically to give expression to the ideals and aims of the new state. Many aspects of their work have been extensively published, especially the vivid and dynamic graphics used on posters, books and packaging. But another artistic phenomenon, although of equal importance, is barely documented outside the Soviet Union. A wealth of 'agitprop' ceramics - inspired designs on porcelain, often bearing messages promoting agitation or disseminating propaganda of the new age - still exist: they are now avidly studied by designers and sought by collectors around the world. Surprisingly, many of these fresh, vigorous designs were created on existing porcelain - especially a large stock of blanks from the Imperial Porcelain Factory near Leningrad which survived the events of 1917. Revolutionary Ceramics is the first book devoted entirely to reproducing a selection of the most stunning and significant pieces still in existence, and to considering their importance in the history of Soviet art. Many plates, dishes, teapots, cups and figurines come from the Nicholas Lynn collection in London, considered by experts to be the best private collection of ceramics anywhere in the world. Further examples - of objects as diverse as chess sets and inkstands, as well as cups and plates - come from other important sources, notably the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory and the Russian Museum in Leningrad. After an introduction explaining the historical and cultural background to the subject, the book goes on to illustrate the work of some fifty artists, including such outstanding figures as Sergei Chekhonin, Natalya Danko, Nikolai Suetin and Kazimir Malevich. Lavish colour pictures with explanatory captions trace the development from the earliest propaganda plates with their stark slogans, through the more decorative, celebratory pieces intended either to beautify the home or to earn foreign currency, to, via the increasing use of Suprematist designs, the rise in importance of principles of functionality and economy in the output of the ceramics factories. Complete with detailed biographies of the artists featured and reference charts and pictures identifying signatures, factory marks and monograms, Revolutionary Ceramics is an accessible, lavishly illustrated account of a unique period, and an essential reference for collectors, designers and all connoisseurs of the decorative arts of the twentieth century".
