Studio Magazine, founded by Charles Holme, was influential in Europe promoting such names as Lasenby Liberty and Charles Rennie Mackintosh to a wider audience. It exerted a major influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau at the beginning of the century and later furthered Modernism and 'Good Design'. This 1935 'Special Number' introduces, to an English speaking audience, some of the greatest names in post-revolutionary Russian art: including an essay by A Chegodayev on contemporary graphic art, featuring a Kunetsov frontispiece in colour, b/w reproductions by Cosma Petrov-Vodkin and Alexander Deineka, posters by Deineka and Klutses and much else. .
