Iskusstvo kommuny (Art of the Commune – IK) was a Russian arts magazine published by IZO-Narkompros. It was edited by Osip Brik, Nathan Altman and Nikolay Punin who produced nineteen issues between 7 December 1918 and April 1919. Each issue had between four and six pages and contained reviews, arts news, as well as poems and essays.[1]

The magazine was based in Petrograd, and was one of the most important publications advocating the Russian futurist views on art.[2] Iskusstvo was a sister paper. also published under the auspices of IZO-Narkompros, but in Moscow.[2]

Osip Brik wrote in the first issue: “The bourgeoisie transformed flesh into spirit. It turned matter into a gaseous state. Instead of solids — ideological evaporations. The proletariat re-establishes flesh, matter, solids in its right. For the proletariat an idea is nothing if it is not realised, if it is not on the way to being realised.”[3]

Some of the editorials were poems by Mayakovsky as "poetic editorials".[4]
