Print, Muzykal'naia nov' (Musical New Land) , No. 10
This is a Print. It was graphic design by Liubov Popova and collected by Merrill Berman. It is dated 1924 and we acquired it in 2014. Its medium is letterpress on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
While trained as a painter, Liubov Popova abandoned her painting career in 1921 for art that served the people and the communist State. Strongly influenced by Kasimir Malevich and Alexandr Rodchenko, she applied a Constructivist aesthetic to her posters and other printed ephemera, textiles, stage design, clothing and ceramics. Presented here is an issue of the Russian avant-garde journal, Muzykal’naia nov’ (Musical New Land), no. 4, 1924, with a cover by Popova. This is a powerful graphic whose boldness and central focus approaches graphic designs of Rodchenko. The Musical New Land journal is relatively rare, since only 1500 copies were printed.
