  The Letter as such: 2003 Friends of St Bride conference proceedings
Kruchenykh defies the dominant designation of typography as a means for utilitarian efficiency and expedience, and explores the expressive potential of letterforms and the process itself.
Kruchenykh’s appreciation and reverence for the physical form of the written word is further apparent in the editions he created between 1917 and 1921.
Kruchenykh is the first of a number of artist-designer-typographers whose significant contributions to typographic innovation and advancement in Russia in the 1910s-1930s are not yet entirely recognized or known.

Kruchenykh, without formal training in poetics, had no aesthetic inhibitions and was able to carry the idea of the self-sufficient word to extravagant lengths, reaching a level of abstractionism that bordered on the absurd.
Kruchenykh considered transreason the manifestation of a spontaneous, noncodified language.
For all its declared spontaneity, the effect of the explosion was obviously calculated to emphasize the shape of words and letters and thereby enhance their visual expressiveness.

 Russia 1913-1922 - Exhibition 2003
From 1912 to her premature death in 1918, Olga Rozanova (born 1886), painter, engraver and poet, was connected to Aleksei Kruchenykh (1886-1968), painter and collagist, by an intense partnership, intimate yet separated by distance and—above all—esthetic.
She was a prolific and inventive participant in the rapidly succeeding Russian art movements of primitivism, cubo-futurism, and suprematism.
In her version, Rozanova produced wood engravings, some with collage; on his side, Kruchenykh presented an astonishing series of collages on a blue background.

 A Chant of Universal Flowering
Filonov applied a similar device to his paintings, taking primary "syllables" such as a face or head, fragmenting and repeating them in numerous variations, and producing the simultaneous effect of familiarity and estrangement.
Perhaps for these reasons Kruchenykh spoke of the “rhythmized displacements” in Filonov’s text.
A Chant of Universal Flowering is a dramatic poem (or poetical drama) about violence, with references not only to the military escapade of the Great War, but also to the ancient division of Cain and Abel, the battles of Mediaeval Russia, and the revengeful darkness of pagan myth.

 The Future | Tendencies
That conviction was shared by the artists that practised Constructivism (Lissitzky, Mayakovsky, Malevich, Rodchenko…), and was essential to its development long before it was adopted by the Soviet regime that emerged form the 1917 Revolution.
Mayakovsky and Aleksei Kruchenykh, as part of the Russian Futurist movement, had been working for years on the creation of a new poetry, based on the notion of ‘zaum’;.
Translated as ‘transrational’ or ‘beyonsense’, it designated a poetic form that resulted from the elimination of logic, the extraction of words from their normal context, the isolation of word fragments and the exploitation of the graphic identity of letters in search of potential new meaning.

Sets and costumes were designed by the painter Kasimir Malevich, the music was written by composer and painter Mikhail Matyushin and the libretto by poet and painter Aleksei Kruchënykh.
This performance encapsulated much of the avant-garde artistic activity of pre-war Russia: the form was shocking, the presentation anarchic, and the message nihilist.
The authors signalled their intention not just by the title, but by the appearance of the volume:  it was covered in burlap, or sackcloth, a plebeian material which asserted that art was a matter for all, not just the cultivated upper-class few.

A key figure for this area of my dissertation is the Futurist poet and theorist Aleksei Kruchenykh, who collected children's own writings and published these alongside his own.
Rare materials related to this aspect of Kruchenykh's poetic practice that I have been able to examine at Cotsen are the first edition of Porosiata (1913), which Kruchenykh co-authored with an eleven-year-old girl, and his first collection of children's drawings and writings, Sobstvennye razskazy I risunki detei (1914).
In addition to these presentations, I intend to submit a research article to be considered for publication by the Princeton University Library Chronicle, as I was encouraged to do by its editor Gretchen Oberfranc.

 The Russian Avant-Garde Book, 1910—1934 - Museum of Modern Art - Absolutearts.com
The first section is titled after an early manifesto by artists and poets, in which they responded to what they considered the stultifying conventions of academic taste and bourgeois sensibility.
Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Olga Rozanova, Kazimir Malevich, among others, collaborated with writers and poets, including Aleksei Kruchenykh, Velimir Khlebnikov, and Vasilii Kamenskii, to forge a new language of abstraction through experimentation with Cubo-Futurism, Primitivism, and Rayonism.
Many of these poets and painters practiced both mediums, and most were friends, siblings, or spouses; collaboration on books was one important result of this creative ferment.

There are less familiar names too--Gileia leader David Burliuk; Aleksei Kruchenykh, who like Mayakovsky attended art school before becoming a poet.
Also on view in an interesting subsection on Judaica were Lissitzky's Tale of a Goat, 1919, which tells a "House that Jack Built" story in Hebrew, and several letterpress books by and about Marc Chagall.
Tragic as some of their later histories were, these Russian visionaries did, graphically, transform the world.
