About This Item
Moscow: The State Publishing House of Graphic Arts, 1935. First Edition. Folio (42cm); printed wrappers, saddle-stitched; [40]pp; illus.; text is entirely in English. Mild wear along spine-fold, some pinpoint wear and a few creases to wrapper extremities, else clean internally; Near Fine. Well-preserved issue of this landmark Soviet art magazine, issued from 1930 to 1941 to celebrate the achievements of the first two Five Year Plans and (through various foreign-language editions) to propagandize the stark contrast between the vibrant Soviet economy during this period and the stagnation of Western economies under capitalism. "All the visual strategies of the propaganda photobooks, designed by Lissitsky, Rodchenko and others...were developed in USSR in Construction, one of the most beautifully produced magazines of the twentieth century" (Parr-Badger, The Photobook, I:148).
The present issue is entirely devoted to the children of the Soviet Union. "We must produce a new generation of healthy and buoyant workers, capable of increasing the power of the Soviet Union" (Stalin, from inner wrapper).
