Lot 137. [SCHOOL OF LEBEDEV].<br />
Untitled. c. 1920s. Oil pastel with pochoir and ink on paper (345<br />
x 250 mm).<br />
During the paper shortage of the 1920s, <strong>Russian</strong> artists were forced<br />
to produce their work on any scraps at hand. Lebedev and his<br />
avant-garde illustrators at the Detgiz publishing house produced<br />
their substantial output often on the reverse of bookplates and<br />
folding maps. This drive to create was essential for a thriving<br />
movement during wartime Russia and is manifested in these<br />
stunning Cubist abstractions<br />
