The Struggle for Utopia: Rodchenko, Lissitzky, Moholy-Nagy, 1917-1946

Margolin, Victor

Following 1917, a new artistic-social avant-garde emerged aiming to engage the artist in the building of social life. Through close readings of the works of Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzky and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, this book examines the way in which these three artists negotiated the changing relations between their social ideals and political realities they confronted.
