EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a poster for the theatre play "Flax" from 1931, designed by Fyodor Filippovich Kondratov. The artwork, found in the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, reflects a significant period in Russian history. The poster depicts a scene filled with family and confrontation, symbolizing the turbulent times of collectivization and socialism in Russia during that era. It portrays a farmer amidst fields of flax, representing the struggle between individual peasants and the collective farming system promoted by the Soviet Union. With its vibrant colors and powerful imagery, this piece is an example of socialist realism art - a style heavily influenced by propaganda to promote political ideologies. It highlights themes such as kolkhoz (collective farm), kulak (wealthy peasant), shock work movement, heroes of socialist labor, and denunciation. During this time period marked by Stalinism and political repression, collectivization campaigns aimed to eliminate individual peasants or kulaks who resisted joining collective farms. This led to dekulakization policies that often resulted in defamation or persecution. Through this stunning color lithograph design for opera, ballet, and theatre promotion purposes; Kondratov's artwork captures both historical context and artistic excellence. It serves as a reminder of an important chapter in Russian history while showcasing fine art images from Soviet political agitation art during that time.
