Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde

A captivating exploration of 250 film posters from the Soviet Union during the dynamic period of the 1920s and early 1930s.

Curated from the private collection of Susan Pack, these posters showcase the energy and creativity of a time before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.

Featuring the works of 27 different artists, the posters reflect a diverse range of styles and aesthetics, from bold figuration to architectural elements.

Departing from the glamour of Hollywood, these posters offer stark, striking, and challenging images, marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.

This collection is a unique and thrilling record of the cultural Zeitgeist at the intersection of visual, graphic, and cinematic arts in the Soviet Union.
