The collection documents the history of modern Russian and Ukrainian art. It encompasses
critical literature, illustrated books, and art periodicals. The collection contains texts by such
artists as Wassily Kandinsky, Pavel Filonov, Kazimir Malevich and Anatolii Petrytskyi;
publications of art groups such as the Jack of Diamonds (Bubnovyi valet) and Mākovets;
theoretical tracts by Nikolai Tarabukin and Boris Kushner; and books by well-known critics such
as IAkov Tugendkhol'd, Erikh Gollerbakh, and Nikolai Punin. The collection also offers a
selection of early 20th century art-related serials. These historical sources of pre- and
post-revolutionary art reflect the diversity of artistic thought in the first thirty years of the 20th
century, the intense discussions about the nature of the new art, its form, and its aims.
