N.p., ca 1933.
Extremely rare Russian abstract handmade paste paper from the 1930s.
Russian artist Mikhail Tarkhanov (1888-1962), a master of endpapers and bookbinding, created it. He used the special technique of surface painting onto paper with the paste mixture. Each one of them is unique. Paste papers, the oldest decorated papers used by bookbinders, are practically unknown in Russia. Mikhail Tarkhanov studied at the Stroganov School for Technical Drawing (which later became VKhUTEMAS) under Vladimir Favorsky and Wassily Kandinsky. Since the beginning of the 1930s abstract art was banned in the USSR. However, Tarkhanov made official works at the same time as his abstract compositions. Sometimes the book design was the only way to create in avant-garde style, as for writers translating became the only way to work as a man of letter in the USSR. Some Tarkhanov's works locates in the Getty Center. The endpaper is from Tarkhanov's private collection.
