VIKTOR GOVORKOV (1906-1974) [PHRASES . . . AND BASES.] 1952. 21 3/4x30 1/2 inches, 55 1/4x77 1/2 cm. Iskusstvo, Moscow. Condition B+: repaired tears at edges, some into image and text; creases and abrasions in margins and image. Mounted on paper. Biting political satire in the form of a cartoon: an American general plots U.S. military bases on a map of Europe, while in his back pocket, an American politican (attached to a wad of dollars) explains the American doctrine to the world, "Peace, Defense, Disarmament." Note the bomb hidden in the palm frond.
