This 1923 volume is the first edition of S.O. Gruzenberg's "Psychology of Creativity," a significant early Soviet contribution to the study of creative thought and artistic processes. Published in Minsk by "Beltrestpechat" in the formative years of the USSR, this work reflects the burgeoning interdisciplinary interest in linking psychological science with the theory of art and invention. The book is notable for its possible cover design attributed to "A.K.," which may refer to the prominent graphic artist Alexei Kravchenko, known for his expressive woodcuts and book illustrations of the 1920s. As a softcover publication in an enlarged format, this first volume represents a foundational text in the field, aimed at scholars, artists, and the intelligentsia of the period. It is a valuable collectible for historians of psychology, Soviet intellectual history, and bibliophiles interested in early post-revolutionary publishing.
