GURYAN, OLGA. Galu i M'gamu. Moscow: GIZ, 1928. 8 pp. Color lithographs. Original decorated wrappers. Wrappers touched up and rebacked; internal soiling and creases. Shterenberg was an exceptional Ukrainian-born Jewish Modernist painter. Through his friendship with A. Lunacharsky, he was appointed a Commissar for Artistic Matters and later Head of the Department of Fine Arts of the People's Commissariat of Enlightenment or Narkompros. When the Soviet authorities clamped down on all freedom of expression in art, he found a brief haven designing highly experimental children's picture books. Like so many of his contemporaries, he was forced to work in a more realistic style in the 1930s and died largely forgotten. These scenes from the life of two African boys are illustrated in Shterenberg's bold Neo-Primitivist style that fused his knowledge of African art with Cubism.
