VUSPP Almanac, Alukrainishe Assotziatzie Fun Proletarishe Schreiber – Yiddishe Sektzie [All-Ukrainian Association of Proletarian Writers – Jewish Section]. Kharkiv: Tzenterfarlag, 1929. Yiddish. Literary anthology published by the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Association of Proletarian Writers, established in 1927. Includes works by 21 Jewish authors and poets, with accompanying woodcuts and linocuts by artists Ber/Boris Blank (1897-1957) and Moisei Fradkin (1904-1974) – both graduates of the same class of the Kharkiv Institute of Art. The VUSPP, the All-Ukrainian Association of Proletarian Writers, was established in Ukraine in 1927 with the stated objective of fighting bourgeoise nationalist literature and establishing a school of literary socialist realism in Ukraine. The organization's true goal was to fight the existing literary associations in which the Communist party identified dangerous nationalist and anti-proletarian tendencies. The VUSPP consisted of a Russian section and a Jewish one; under its watch, several literary journals dealing with implementing the political program, which was dictated by the party, were published – under strict aesthetic requirements. In 1932, the VUSPP was disbanded. During the Great Purges of 1937-1938, most of the organization's ex-members were arrested, banished to the Gulag or executed. 363, [3] pp., 22.5 cm. Good condition.

Di Kupe [The Heap], by Peretz Markish. Warsaw: Kultur Lige, 1921. First edition. Cover design by Henryk Berlewi. A poem dedicated to the victims of the Ukrainian pogroms during the years 1917-1920 (The Petliura Riots). The composition on the front cover, by artist Henryk Berlewi, plays on the poem's title, visually evoking "a heap" (Di Kupe). An identical composition was printed on the title page. The Jewish-Polish artist Henryk Berlewi (1894-1967) was one of the leading constructivist artists in Poland in the 1920s. He studied art in Warsaw, Antwerp and Paris. During the years 1919-1921, he worked with the artistic and literary avant-garde group Yung Yidish. Berlewi designed and illustrated books; he is especially known for his illustrations for books by poets Uri Zvi Greenberg and Peretz Markish. Berlewi published a theoretical essay titled "Mechano-Faktura" in which he introduced the theoretical basis for his artistic work, namely, using mechanical means to create texture. The "Mechano-Faktura", which is based on arrangements of lines and simple geometric forms, using the colors black, white and red, rejects the illusion of space in favor of two-dimensionality. In late 1920s, Berlewi moved to Paris, where he mainly focused on portrait painting. After World War II, his works were displayed in several major exhibitions in Paris, as well as in Berlin, Warsaw, Zurich and New York. 32 pp., approx. 33.5 cm. Fair condition. Much foxing. Some small tears. Signature to title page. Handwritten notations alongside text. Card binding, with the original cover laid down (wear to cover and tears to edges).
