NisN research assignment requested by August Heffner on Varvara Stepanova, Russian constructivist. She was professor of textile design at the Vkhutemas (Higher Technical Artistic Studios) while continuing typography, book design and contributing to the magazine L.E.F. —What a total knock out! There is this book, this article, and I only wish there was a show on Varvara and not just her husband, Rodchenko. Totally unfair. Thanks August for the Varvara tip!
