| Title | Peterburgskaja azbuka |
| Description | Petersburg Alphabet by the artist Alexander Florensky, one of the founders of the Mitki group, is a series of graphic sketches of the place names and symbols of St Petersburg, in which each object is assigned its own letter of the alphabet. The book depicts a real, everyday city, without the traditional ceremonial postcard views. Alongside well-known streets and rivers, it records colourful urban details: courtyards, entrances, animals, snow, and elements of daily life. The author explores the Petersburg “genius of place”, assembling a mosaic from the ordinary details of the urban environment. The sketches are executed with concise graphic means referring back to the traditions of the Russian avant-garde of the 1920s. |
