It argues that naturalistic models of the complex interactions of dynamic systems offer effective tools for understanding the fraught interrelations of art and censorship in the early Soviet period. Through illustrative case studies, it mounts a close analysis of word and image and their synergistic interplay in avant-garde picturebooks, while also recontextualizing them within the ecology of their original environment where extraordinary countervailing forces played out a drama of which these books survive as telling artifacts. Ultimately, it argues that the Russian avant-garde picturebook offers a uniquely illustrative example of literary ecology that sheds light on issues of creativity and censorship, politics and art, more broadly as well"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aChildren's literature, culture, and cognition ;$vVolume 9. 606 $aPicture books for children$zSoviet Union$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChildren's literature, Soviet$xHistory and criticism 610 $abørne- og ungdomslitteratur. 615 0$aPicture books for children$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChildren's literature, Soviet$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a741.642 700 $aWeld$b Sara Pankenier$01483526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796629103321 996 $aAn ecology of the Russian avant-garde picturebook$93701648 997 $aUNINA
