Notes
Global Avantgarde Bulgaria 1; Jacono 3. First Bulgarian edition of Blok's famous poem about the Russian Revolution. "The cover, highly intense in colour and pattern, equally accentuating expressionist dynamics as well as constructivist stringency, was designed by Ivan Milev who abstracted Blok's central motif, the red flag of the revolutionaries carried forward by Christ, putting it in the centre of the picture and repeating it in the vignette on the backcover" (Jacono).
