Published for an exhibition of Soviet anti-Nazi propaganda posters produced during the Second World War. From the gallery website: "Soon after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June of 1941, the Okna TASS studio spontaneously formed in Moscow. Comprised of renowned artists, poets and literary figures, the new consortium would oversee production of a powerful, extreme form of visual expression to urge Soviet citizens to fight on and ultimately do the nearly impossible - change the course of the war, the course of history. .Nowhere else in the lexicon of wartime imagery had suffering and horror been portrayed in such an absurdist way. Nowhere else was the face of the enemy, Hitler's portrait in particular, composed using twenty-five garishly bright colors." Includes a fascinating essay by Xenia Vytuleva, with some historical photos.
