Reviews

""Just as Meghan Forbes shows the printed output of Devětsil to be revolutionary for transmitting the impulses of the pan-European avant-garde movement into a cooperation with local printers, we can claim a comparable revolutionary force in her own book, which situates Devětsil publications within transnational networks."" * Karel Císar, professor, Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague * ""This book is an extremely well-researched study on the printing and image reproduction practices of the Devětsil movement. It makes use of ample documentation to bring a new perspective to the practical functioning of the Czech avant-garde and its network."" * Anna Pravdová, curator, National Gallery Prague * ""Multidisciplinary scholar Forbes’s broad and deep study of the Czech avant-garde group Devětsil is a model of scholarship, bringing new insights into the ideas, sociopolitical context, and material culture of its era."" * Jennifer Tobias, librarian and Modernist scholar; coauthor of Extra Bold *
