This is a vintage print that belongs to an original set of 32 reproduction prints entitled Soviet Painting. This print includes a descriptive protective tissue guard with the painting’s title, the artist’s name, the painting technique, the date, and a short essay about the work and the artist, providing historical and stylistic context (see last picture). Published just months before Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland (September 1939) and two years before Hitler’s devastating attack on the Soviet Union (June 1941), this poster represents the confident, triumphant face the Soviet state projected to the world-and its own citizens-before the catastrophe of World War II. Scene depicts the painting. “Tractors in a Lumber Camp”. (or sometimes “Tractor in the Woods” or “Tractor for forestry work”) by the Russian artist. The artwork is a notable example of Soviet art from that era, depicting a modern, industrial scene of logging in a snowy, mountainous landscape. The painting directly relates to the Soviet Union’s intensive industrialization efforts during the first and second Five-Year Plans, which aimed to rapidly modernize the country’s economy. Depicting powerful machinery like tractors in the remote, snowy taiga served to glorify modern technology and human mastery over nature in service of national goals. Style: Socialist Realism is an officially sanctioned artistic style developed in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and later adopted across the Eastern Bloc. It was not just an art movement, but a state policy that governed how art should look and what it should communicate. Made in The USSR. This poster was produced for global export to propagate communist ideology. Publisher: State Art Publishers (??????????????????????????? “????????? “), Moscow & Leningrad. Condition: as seen on the pictures with yellowing/brittleness (typical for this age). This is guaranteed 100% soviet period item manufactured in the USSR. This is not a recent issue, replica or tourist souvenir.
