KLUZIS Gustav Gustavovich (1895-1938) News from all over the world (circa 1922) Gouache, ink and pen on cardboard, signed lower right in Cyrillic, annotated in Russian on the back mentioning the title of the work Bears a stamp on the reverse of the Higher Workshops of Soviet Art and Techniques of Vkhuttemas Haut. Provenance: Schleininger-Deutch family History: In 1922, Gustav Kluzis produced a whole series of projects for future in situ "installations" conceived as real multimedia propaganda devices. Loudspeakers, slogans and large screens for projections were designed by Kluzis to be used during the mass celebrations on the occasion of the IVth Congress of the IIIrd Communist International, dedicated to the five-year anniversary of the October 1917 Revolution. These constructivist drawings, which remained at the stage of projects, are the witnesses of the first researches and of the transition of the Soviet vanguard from the phase of "composition to construction" to the phase of "construction to the utilitarian thing". Our work is a prime example of this.
