VIKTOR KORETSKY (1909-1998) [WE WANT PEACE!] 1950. 34x22 1/2 inches, 86 1/2x57 1/4 cm. Práce. Condition B: replaced losses in margins; repaired tears, restoration and extensive creases and abrasions in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds. An exceptionalimage from one of the masters of Russian graphic propaganda during the Stalinist era. Amongst the vilified Western leaders seated around the table are (from left to right) Dean Acheson, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle. Atop the green poker table on which they play with the fate of the world, the men make plans with an atomic bomb, spy plane, cannon and spy boat. Koretsky, well known for his photomontage images, veers towards cartoon in his juxtaposition of the gargantuan, heroic worker and the vile, rodent-like leaders of the imperialist countries. Note that the only photographically "real" image on the poster is the overall-clad worker. This is the Czech version. Koretsky pl. 102, Power of Images 177.
