Stenberg Brothers: Constructing a Revolution in Soviet Design»rank: 950470by: Peter Kenez, Christopher Mount, Georgii Stenberg, Vladimir Stenberg
: :The Stenberg brothers, like their contemporaries Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitzky, were artists of immensely varied interests and eclectic skills. They were sculptors, architects, and stage and costume designers, and were enamored of the film and montage theories developed in the suddenly burgeoning Soviet film industry. As seen in this book's superb colorplates, they brought to film poster design an extraordinary compositional dynamism, originality, and contrast of scale, employing many of the artistic conventions of the Constructivist movement to great effect. |

Pauline Christianity: Luke-Acts and the Legacy of Paul (Supplements to Novum Testamentum) (Supplements to Novum Testamentum)»rank: 3665877by: Christopher N. Mount

This study contributes to the ongoing discussion of Paul's role in the history of early Christianity by making clear the extent to which the 'Pauline ... |
