Summary:
Eliezer (Lazar) Markovitch Lissitzky (Pochinok, près de Smolensk, Russie, 1890 – Moscou, 1941), dit El Lissitzky, est l’un des artistes les plus influents, les plus novateurs et les plus controversés du début du XXe siècle. Peintre, designer, architecte et photographe prolifique, il a travaillé avec l’avant-garde soviétique et européenne des années 1920 et participé activement à l’art propagandiste stalinien des années 1930. L’une des spécificités majeures de son œuvre comme de sa vie est le « franchissement des limites » : il a rapproché les pays et les cultures, l’art et le design, l’Est et l’Ouest. Après 1917, pendant la période du communisme de guerre, il vit à l'étranger où il fait office d'ambassadeur culturel, promouvant l'art russe et les idées soviétiques à l'Ouest tout en s'informant sur la culture occidentale. Pour lui, l’art ne doit pas être considéré comme le fruit d’une expression personnelle ou comme une production d’objets, mais comme une activité sociale et collective. Avec Kazimir Malevitch, il développe un nouveau langage visuel – le suprématisme révolutionnaire – employé non seulement en peinture, mais aussi en arts graphiques et en gravure, en architecture et en théâtre, en céramique, dans les théories de l’éducation et dans les écrits révolutionnaires.

Summary:
This book tells the tale of the prolific Italian architect, inventor, farmer, writer, and engineer Gaetano Ciocca, whose career took him from the battlefronts of World War I to Stalin’s Russia, Mussolini’s Italy, FDR’s America, and finally to postwar liberal-democratic Italy. Like celebrated counterparts such as Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, Ciocca was a visionary so confident in his vision of a future in which all aspects of life would be rationalized and modernized that no set of practical or political obstacles could ever stand in his way. Ciocca’s endeavors included the development of "fast houses," a "theater for 20,000 spectators," the "guided roadway," and the rationalist pig farms referred to by Carlo Belli as "Ciocca’s Grand Hotel for Pigs."

Summary:
Cities after the Fall of Communism traces the cultural reorientation of East European cities since 1989. Analyzing the architecture, commemorative practices, and urban planning of cities such as Lviv, Vilnius, and Odessa, the contributors to this volume demonstrate how history may be selectively re-imagined in light of present political and cultural realities. These essays show that while East European cities gravitate nostalgically toward Habsburg, Baltic, Imperial Russian, and Germanic pasts, they are also embracing new urban identities grounded in ethnic-national, European, Western, and global contexts.
