Revolutionary Film Posters: Aesthetic Experiments of Russian Constructivism, 1920-33
Tony Shafrazi Gallery, 544 West 26th Street through July 29, 2011.
Ninety-five stunning posters (some literally jaw-dropping in person) alongside restored footage from “The Man With a Movie Camera” (1929), and Eisenstein’s
“Battleship Potemkin” (1925) and “October” (1928).
