528 p. ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm. "Drawing on Gabo's extensive and largely unpublished archives of letters, diaries, notebooks, models and sketchbooks, Hammer and Lodder discuss the sculptor's work in the context of his relations with other avant garde artists, architects and critics, including his brother Antoine Pevsner. They also situate his aesthetic theory and practice within the Constructivist movement and the wider tradition of twentieth century art, and they examine Gabo's accomplishments in each of the diverse milieus in which he worked." -- Contents: Introduction and Acknowledgements 7 -- 1 Early Life: Russia and Munich 1890-1917 11 -- 2 The Formation of a Scultor : Norway 1914-17 31 -- 3 Revolutionary Russia : 1917-20 53 -- 4 The Russian Avant Garde : 1920-2 73 -- 5 International Constructivism in Berlin: 1922-4 101 -- 6 Sculpture for the Machine Age : 1924-7 125 -- 7 Guardians of the Flame : 1928 -30 161 -- 8 The Palace of the Soviets: 1931-2 189 -- 9 Hard Times : 1932-6 211 -- 10 London : 1936-9 231 -- 11 Cornwall: 1939-46 269 -- 12 Settling in America: 1946-54 313 -- 13 Public Successes: 1954-62 353 -- 14 Art and Science: 1930-60 379 -- 15 Brothers in Art 403 -- 16 Final Years: 1963-77 437 -- Notes 469 -- Index 517 -- Martin Hammer & Christina Lodder.
