Samenvatting
The avant-garde of the 1920s is broadly recognised as Russia’s first truly original contribution to world culture. In contrast, Soviet design in the post-war period is dismissed as hack-work and plagiarism that resulted in a shabby world of commodities. Challenging this interpretation, Comradely objects addresses this second historical attempt to create an alternative to capitalist commodities in the Cold War era.
Offering a new perspective on the history of Soviet material culture, the book focuses on the notion of the ‘comradely object’ as an agent of progressive social relations that state-sponsored Soviet design inherited from the avant-garde. It introduces a shared history of domestic objects, hand-made as well as machine-made, mass-produced as well as unique, utilitarian as well as challenging the conventional notion of utility. Situated at the intersection of intellectual history, social history and material culture studies, the book elucidates the complexities and contradictions of Soviet design that echoed international tendencies of the late-twentieth century.
Illustrated with numerous colour images of Soviet design objects, Comradely objects is a rich resource for students and scholars working on design, art history and material culture, as well as historians of Russia and the USSR.
The Russian avant-garde of the 1920s is broadly recognised to have been Russia’s first truly original contribution to world culture. In contrast, Soviet design of the post-war period is often dismissed as hack-work and plagiarism that resulted in a shabby world of commodities. This book offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet design by focusing on the notion of the comradely object as an agent of progressive social relations that state-sponsored Soviet design inherited from the avant-garde. It introduces a shared history of domestic objects, hand-made as well as machine made, mass-produced as well as unique, utilitarian as well as challenging the conventional notion of utility. This is a study of post-avant-garde Russian productivism at the intersection of intellectual history, social history and material culture studies, an account attentive to the complexities and contradictions of Soviet design.
