Gustav Klutsis and Valentina Kulagina: Photography and Montage After Constructivism is the first English-language publication to address the work of the pioneering Constructivist artist, designer, photographer and photomontagist Gustav Klutsis. Unlike the work of fellow members of the Soviet avant-garde such as Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitsky, Klutsis’s extensive and innovative output has been relatively unexplored.

The book will also present the groundbreaking but largely unknown work of Valentina Kulagina, Klutsis’s wife and colleague, and explore the creative partnership 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. This Book will present for the first time in any language translated excerpts from Klutsis’s letters and Kulagina’s diaries, offering new insights on the artists and the political and cultural climate in which they were working.
