"One important area of activity within Russian Futurism was the creation of artists’ books. The production of books as unique works of art gave the movement a special imprint. This type of creativity did not stop in the 1920s, but is still developed by modern artists working in the field of the livre d’artiste. Some of the works created by the Russian Futurists became classics of the genre. This heritage had an impact on a great many contemporary Russian writers and has influenced practically all artists working in this domain."
