The Russian avant-garde of the 1920s is broadly recognised to have been Russia's first truly original contribution to world culture. In contrast, Soviet design of the post-war period is often dismissed as hack-work and plagiarism that resulted in a shabby world of commodities. This book offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet design by focusing on the notion of the comradely object as an agent of progressive social relations that state-sponsored Soviet design inherited from the avant-garde. It introduces a shared history of domestic objects, hand-made as well as machine made, mass-produced as well as unique, utilitarian as well as challenging the conventional notion of utility. This is a study of post-avant-garde Russian productivism at the intersection of intellectual history, social history and material culture studies, an account attentive to the complexities and contradictions of Soviet design.Art & design styles: from c 1960bicsscMaterial culturebicsscFormer Soviet Union, USSR (Europe)bicsscSoviet designmaterial culturehousehold objectsdecorative artlate socialismArt & design styles: from c 1960Material cultureFormer Soviet Union, USSR (Europe)745.4094709046Karpova Yuliaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1312885Karpova YuliaDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910404144803321Comradely objects3031071UNINA
