Views and Re-Views: Soviet Political Posters and Cartoons

The USSR is the Stakhanovite brigade of the world's proletariat Gustav Klutsis... The USSR is the Stakhanovite brigade of the world's proletariat (1931, Lithograph). From the exhibition Views and Re-Views: Soviet Political Posters and Cartoons at the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University. "...Views and Re-Views includes posters, cartoons, photomontages, and postcards spanning more than six decades, from the time of the Russian Civil War (1918–21) into the late Soviet period. The exhibition includes well-known Soviet graphic works, by such artists as Viktor Deni, Dmitri Moor, El Lissitsky, and Gustav Klutsis, as well as lesser-known, but equally compelling works by the Kukryniksy (a three-artist collaborative), Alexander Zhitomirsky, and others. Drawn from an extensive private collection of Soviet propaganda, the exhibition includes more than 160 images."
