It reports on Zdanevich's artistic and political adventures up until then. Along with an autobiography full of self-admiration, in this lecture Zdanevich gives an interpretation of his zaum dramas inspired by Freudianism, and humorously describes a colorful image of the Russian microcosm in Montparnasse.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdditionally, this second volume also includes Iliazd's letter to Ardengo Soffici from 1964, where one can read, in the most unambiguous terms, about Zdanevich's positions against war, imperialism, and all forms of nationalism. Subtitled \u003cem\u003e50 Years of Russian Futurism\u003c\/em\u003e, the letter to Soffici presents us with an altogether new Zdanevich—a \"fellow traveller\" in both leftist and avant-garde circles. As well as the extended introduction and extensive annotations, the texts are further contextualized with Johanna Drucker's visual presentation of the birth of the Iliazd cult. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e96 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRab-Rab Press, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6.6 x 4.3 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9789526938998\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAutobiography\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43199978045608,"sku":"9789526938998","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/SKM_C650i23021112240.jpg?v=1676134096","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/illya-zdanevich-iliazd-iliazda-at-the-birthday-party-autiobiographical-lecture-1922","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
