Gustav Klutsis and Valentina Kulagina : Photography and Montage A

Between the Public and the Private is the first English-language publication to address the work of the pioneering Constructivist artist, designer, photographer, and photomontagist Gustav Klutsis.This catalogue also presents the unknown work of Valentina Kulagina, Klutsis´s wife and colleague, and explores the creative partnership that existed between the two artists. In addition to a scholarly text by curator Margarita Tupitsyn, a leading scholar of Russian art and photography who has had access to the artists´ family archives, Between the Public and the Private presents, for the first time in any language, translated excerpts from Klutsis´s letters and Kulagina´s diaries, offering new insight on the artists and the political and cultural climate in which they were working.
