About the Item

KUKRYNIKSY Новый «Болшой Скачок» Пекина [The new Great Leap of Peking [Beijing]] Moscow, Izadetelstvo 'Plakat' 1979 54 x 37 cm, 11 (of 12) posters loosely inserted in a printed paper portfolio featuring two further designs, two short tears to the portfolio spine, else fine. A striking series of posters with an anti-Mao tone, from the time of the Sino-Vietman war. Taking a satirical look at the process of modernization in China, a process that involves embracing imperialism and shunning world socialism and communist, to create a united anti-socialist front. The Kukryniksi - a portmanteau name derived from the names of the three artists, Mikhail Kupryanov (Ku), Porfiri Krylov (Kry), and Nikolai Sokolov (Niks) - are arguably the most successful Russian caricaturists. Favoured by the establishment, they were rarely privileged in being allowed to travel, producing views of Europe as well as a variety of spirited propaganda drawings in support of the Russian war effort, and illustrating many classic Russian texts.

Original Soviet propaganda poster Glory to the Soviet people, pioneers of space!
Located in PARIS, FR
The original Soviet propaganda poster by T. Lyashchuk, titled "Gloire au peuple soviétique pionnier de l'espace ! Socialisme et communisme c'est le port spatiale fiable d'où l'humanité prend d'assaut et dirigera les étendues de l'univers," stands as a monumental tribute to the Soviet Union's achievements in space exploration. This poster exemplifies the use of visual art and propaganda to not only celebrate scientific milestones but also to reinforce ideological principles. The poster prominently features the declaration "Gloire au peuple soviétique pionnier de l'espace !" ("Glory to the Soviet people, pioneers of space!"), which highlights the pride and nationalism associated with the Soviet space program. The phrase "Socialisme et communisme c'est le port spatiale fiable d'où l'humanité prend d'assaut et dirigera les étendues de l'univers" ("Socialism and communism is the reliable spaceport from which humanity launches and will conquer the expanses of the universe") further underscores the belief that these political systems were fundamental to the Soviet Union’s success in space. T. Lyashchuk, the artist behind this poster, uses bold imagery and striking colors, typical of Soviet propaganda art...
