This landmark publication presents, for the first time ever, 500 of the very best and previously unpublished graphic works by cinemas master of film. Created in collaboration with RGALI the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts this book traces Eisensteins extraordinary life and career through the distinctive yet evolving styles of his drawings, from early childhood sketches to set and costume designs, and from surreal psychoanalytic drawings to late abstract works.

Foremost Eisenstein scholar Naum Kleiman brings fresh and incredible insights into the motivation and purpose of the drawings, and reflects upon excerpts from Eisensteins own discursive texts, some published here for the first time. Comparative frames from Eisensteins movies scanned from the original film together with a biographical introduction by film historian Ian Christie complete the revelatory and arresting picture.
