Description

Czech Avant-Garde.- Proletkult.- 30 numbers of the Czech edition of the avant-garde arts and culture magazine, initially the organ of the Soviet People's Commissariat for Education, vol.I numbers 1-24 and vol.II numbers 9-10, 20, & 34-37, original printed wrappers, creases and nicks, short closed tears, some wrappers detached; and a small quantity of other magazines, pamphlets & other printed matter dating 1930s-80s illustrating Czech graphic design, typography, fashion, architecture, the plastic arts, photography etc., also a few vinyl records on the Supraphon label, some with ersatz de Stijl sleeve designs, v.s. (sm.qty.)

⁂ The magazine established in the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution; dedicated to educating members of the working-class, even - in the distinctly Soviet way - to informing the creation of characteristically proletarian new art forms.

The movement for proletkult (for an art to depict, serve, and inform working-class life and culture) had begun in independent artists' associations prior to the Revolution; its co-option and haphazard organization under Soviet central control caused divisions; by the early 1920s the federation of associations in Russia had formally been dissolved; in 1921 the newly-formed Communist Party of Czechoslovakia set up a Czech federation and launched an edition of the magazine in Prague.
