IN THE MAIN TRADITION OF THE BEAUTIFUL IN PHOTOGRAPHY, BEAUTY REQUIRES OF A HUMAN DECISION: THAT THIS WOULD MAKE A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH, AND THAT THE GOOD PICTURE WOULD MAKE SOME COMMENT.

SOVIET DESIGN, 1950–1980
APRIL 19 – SEPTEMBER 17
CCA Zarya presents the design survey “Soviet Design, 1950–1980”
“Soviet Design, 1950–1980” is the result of four years spent by the colleagues of the Moscow Design Museum, parsing through the archives of Soviet designers to carefully select objects that most vividly and articulately represent the history and achievements of Russian design. Research into our material culture, the exhibition boasts more than 500 objects in total, ranging from furniture, textiles, household appliances, dishes, toys, posters, and unique archival materials.
