One of the characteristic features of the Russian Avant-garde is the close connection between painting and poetry. Futurist poets (Vladimir Maiakovskii, Aleksei Kruchenykh) were educated as artists, their books were illustrated by the famous painters of their time (Mikhail Larionov, Nataliia Goncharova). Some of the Futurists designed their own books and did all kinds of typographical experiments. One of the most productive writers, designers, editors and publishers of such books was Aleksei Kruchenykh (1886–1968), who only recently has been given honour where it is due. One of his admirers is the Neo-avant-garde poet-artist Sergei Sigei (1947–2014), who was the first to publish some of Kruchenykh’s hitherto unpublished works and in many respects repeated, changed, and further developed his forerunner’s experiments with typographical signs and book production. Some of Sigei’s unique handmade books are dedicated to Kruchenykh. Sigei, the leader of the group of the ‘transfurists’ (Ry Nikonova, Boris Konstriktor, A. Nik, Vladimir Erl’) may be considered the main representative of the Russian Neo-avant-garde.

Sergei Sigei 和 Aleksei Kruchenykh：俄罗斯前卫和新前卫的视觉诗歌

俄罗斯前卫艺术的特征之一是绘画与诗歌之间的密切联系。未来主义诗人（Vladimir Maiakovskii、Aleksei Kruchenykh）受过艺术家教育，他们的书由当时的著名画家（Mikhail Larionov、Nataliia Goncharova）绘制插图。一些未来主义者设计了自己的书，并进行了各种排版实验。Aleksei Kruchenykh (1886-1968) 是此类书籍中最有成效的作家、设计师、编辑和出版商之一，他最近才获得应得的荣誉。他的崇拜者之一是新先锋派诗人艺术家谢尔盖·西盖（Sergei Sigei，1947-2014 年），他率先出版了克鲁切尼赫迄今未发表的一些作品，并在许多方面重复、改变和进一步发展了他的先驱者的作品。 印刷标志和书籍制作的实验。Sigei 的一些独特的手工书籍是献给 Kruchenykh 的。Sigei，“变形主义者”（Ry Nikonova、Boris Konstriktor、A. Nik、Vladimir Erl）集团的领导人，可以被认为是俄罗斯新先锋派的主要代表。
