DESIGNER UNKNOWN [CLAVA ZASHUTNUKAM.] 1948. 33 1/2x23 3/8 inches. Ogiz-Izogiz, Moscow. Condition B+: tear in left margin, affecting image; horizontal fold. Framed. By the end of the Second World War, Stalin had artistically purged his propaganda machine, ridding it of any reminiscence of constructivism and even dynamic photomontage. All that was left was his desire to promulgate Socialist Realism, which became the only official artistic style during the next few decades. Here a simple, bold photograph emphasizes the poster's title, "Glory to those who defend our country."
