ASK A QUESTION
A rare and sought-after exhibition catalogue designed by El Lissitzky to accompany the Exhibition of Japanese Cinema that took place in Leningrad and Moscow in the summer of 1929. The event represented an important cross-cultural exchange as the Soviets believed the Japanese film aesthetic could help them create films that could resist western influences. Only a handful of copies are found in institutions and notably absent from MoMA.

First edition; oblong 8vo (14.7 x 21.1 cm); 24 pp. black & white photographs throughout, alternate leaves are 14.2 x 14.7 cm, text by N. Kaufman, D. Arkin, O.D. Kameneva and N.I. Konrad; original photographically illustrated card wrappers in black and yellow, some edge wear to covers and a little creased throughout, small closed tear to upper right of closing pages and lower wrapper, a very good unrestored copy.
