= Rowell/ Wye 410 and p.196; Compton, Russian Avant-Garde Books 1917-34, p52 and passim; Lissitzky-Küppers p.24: "At the beginning of 1922, Lissitzky collaborated with Ehrenburg in producing the first pro-Soviet periodical, Veshch ('Objet'), published by the Skythen-Verlag. Here Lissitzky could make his new typographical ideas become concrete facts - thanks to highly-developed printing techniques. (...) The pages of the journal were architectonically arranged, and all the resources of the type-case were employed to catch the reader's eye and to give emphasis to the contents. The striking effect made by the typographic composition of the cover (a floating Proun in red) is created by the colossal tension in which the letters are held counterpoised on the coloured background. Few cover designs produced since then bear comparison with these first fruits of Lissitzky's typographical genius." Bolliger III, 242: "Zeitschrift der russischen und europäischen avantgarde, die sich zur Aufgabe setzte: "Die in Russland Schaffenden mit der neuesten westeuropäischen Kunst bekanntzumachen und 2. Westeuropa über die russische Kunst und Literatur zu informieren"." Only 2 issues were published (no.1/2 and 3), although a fourth and a fifth were announced.

- Fine, unopened copy.

= Global Avantgarde Finland 5; Futurisms in the World p.319: "[Mika Waltari and Olavi Pavolainen] belonged to the Tulenkatajat ("Torchbearers") group which, formed in 1920 and active until 1930, tried to take Finland towards a modernization along European lines. (...) Pavolainen in particular sang the praise of roaring automobiles and modern life in accents that have been compared with those of F.T. Marinetti. In 1928, under the penname of Olavi Lauri, he and Waltari published the volume Valtatiet ("Highways") in which, taking his inspiration from Marinetti's fascination with motoring, he imagined driving through the countries of Europe in a red Fiat car, which then exploded like a star in the Sahara Desert".
