Yakov Chernikhov: Architectural Fantasies in Russian Constructivism

This book is the fantastical oeuvre of one of the most important artists of Russian constructivism Yakov Georgievich Chernikhov. The volume presents previously unpublished Chernikhov's graphic works and personal documents from the archive of his son and architectural historian, Dmitry Yakovlevich Chernikhov, and from the archive of Sergei Tchoban. It also includes an introductory essay by Dmitry Khmelnitsky. The typeface tables, drawings and sketches, as well as over one hundred ornaments shown here reveal Yakov Georgievich Chernikhov as an ingenious graphic artist and architect, as a passionate and highly committed teacher and, above all, as an ardent advocate of imagination as the creative force behind every creative process.
