Instead she asserts that photography during this period represented the last \"great experiment\" in the search for the most effective ways to connect art  radical politics  and the masses. Investigating the means by which the new visual tools for disseminating revolutionary messages were adapted to the needs of Stalinist propaganda  Tupitsyn relates major examples of single-frame photography and photomontage to such events as the implementation of the New Economic Policy  Lenins death  and Stalins first and second Five-Year Plans  and to mounting censorship of the arts. She also establishes a link between the writings of critics and the development of photography and photomontage at this time. The book presents previously unpublished material from Klutsiss letters  Rodchenkos public lectures  Lissitzkys late writings on the mass media  and Kulaginas personal diaries  as well as many previously unknown photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275061190709,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300064500","price":239.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300064506.jpg?v=1780500422","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-soviet-photograph-19241937-9780300064506","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
