Explodity: Sound, Image, and Word in Russian Futurist Book Art

The artists’ books made in Russia between 1910 and 1915 are like no others. Unique in their fusion of the verbal, visual, and sonic, these books are meant to be read, looked at, and listened to. In Explodity (Getty Publications), by Nancy Perloff ’78, examines the profound differences between the Russian avant-garde and Western art movements and the wide-ranging legacy of these books.
