Forward Into The Past

I’ve always loved the graphic design of the early Soviet period. There’s something about it that screams of a yearning for the future. (Of course, we all know what that future turned out to be....) MOMA has an exhibit called The Russian Avant Garde Book 1910-1934 that displays some fascinating examples I was previously unaware of. I’ve seen the propaganda posters, but there was a lot more going on than that. (Requires Flash; found via the sadly-departed dooce.com).
