EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the front cover of "Shary (Balloons)" by Osip Emilevich Mandeshtam, a remarkable avant-garde book for children. Created in 1926 by Nikolai Fedorovich Lapshin, this colour lithograph measures 27.8x20.6 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The artwork exudes the spirit of the 1920s with its bold and dynamic composition. The graphic design features an array of colorful balloons floating against a bright background, capturing the essence of futurism and art deco styles that were prevalent during this era. Mandeshtam's literary contribution to communist literature is reflected through this visually striking front cover. The illustration not only appeals to young readers but also reflects the progressive ideals of the time.
