O. Obramova Original Ukranian Soviet Art Poster "Glory to the Women Workers!"
Located in Barueri, SP, BR
This poster depicts a Soviet-era poster that glorifies women workers. Artist: O. M. Obramova Date: 13 May 1983 Publisher: The Ukrainian SSR State Political Publishing House The text at the top reads "Жінкам-трудівницям-слава!" which translates from Ukrainian as "Glory to the Women Workers!" or "Praise to the Women Laborers!". Celebrate the Strength and Spirit of Women Workers with This Iconic Soviet-Era Poster Step into the powerful world of Soviet history with this vintage 1983 poster, celebrating the pivotal role of women in the workforce. Created by the talented artist O. M. Obramova and published by the Ukrainian SSR State Political Publishing House, this stunning piece is more than just artwork—it's a tribute to the resilience, beauty, and strength of Soviet women, symbolizing their vital contributions to society. A Personal Connection to Resilience and Pride Imagine this bold symbol of empowerment in your home or workspace—a reminder of the quiet determination and optimism that resonates with anyone striving for success. The woman at the heart of this poster, adorned in a traditional headscarf, represents the ideal worker. Her expression reflects a soft yet unwavering strength, her eyes filled with the hope and pride of someone who knows the value of hard work. Just like her, you, too, can embrace that spirit of determination and resilience, whether in your personal or professional life. The Power of Femininity and Strength In her hands, the woman gently holds pink roses, a beautiful contrast to her role as a labourer. These flowers symbolize femininity, reminding us that strength and beauty can coexist. Just as the Soviet Union celebrated the balance of these qualities in its women workers, this poster inspires you to see yourself in the same light—someone who can embody both grace and power. A Vision of Progress and Modernization The urban landscape and industrial structures in the background tell a deeper story of progress and modernization, the core of Soviet achievement. These buildings, rendered in soft blue, represent the infrastructure and future that women helped to shape. Every time you glance at this poster, you're reminded of the impact of collective effort, the strength of women in building better communities, and the role of every individual in driving positive change. An Artful Tribute to Hard Work and Hope The poster's socialist realism style captures the essence of the working class, portraying the woman as a heroic figure. Her slightly upturned lips and large, bright eyes reflect hope and a vision of a brighter future—a feeling you can carry with you as you strive toward your own goals. The powerful slogan at the top, "Glory to the Women Workers!", ties everything together, reminding us of the vital role of women in shaping progress, much like we continue to do today. Let this Artwork Inspire Your Space Whether you're a collector of historical posters, a fan of socialist realism art...
