This A3-format portfolio accompanied the Solomon B. Telingater show at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin in 1978 and was published by the visual communication department of the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg in cooperation with the nGbK. In addition to book and magazine covers, poetry collections, and posters in black and red, it includes a short biography of the artist and an overview of the works in the portfolio, all of which are facsimile screen prints in the original format in Russian. Born in 1903 in Tiflis, in what is now Georgia, Telingater was a Soviet graphic artist, illustrator, and printer who worked for various publishing houses in Moscow. His typography of the 1920s was strongly influenced by El Lissitzky’s constructivist experiments. In 1936 he designed the first monograph on John Heartfield.
