GEORGES EREMINE (YURI EREMIN, 1881-1948)
MOSCOW / INTOURIST / MOSCOW HOTEL METROPOLE. Circa 1930s.
27 1/2x18 1/2 inches, 69 3/4x47 cm. The 7th Mospoligraph's Printing Office, Moscow. Condition A. Paper.
Taken from Eremine's 1928 photograph, "The Bolshoi Theatre, Grand Opera of Moscow." This view can practically be seen from the windows of the Hotel Metropole in downtown Moscow. In the mid-1930s, Stalin's preferred art form, Socialist Realism, began to take hold, and pictorialism fell sharply out of fashion within the Soviet Union, being labeled "bourgeois" and "ill-timed." Not in Intourist.
