1968 Victor Koretsky Original poster - America's Shame - Black Power
By Viktor Koretsky
Located in PARIS, FR
Victor Koretsky was born in 1909 in Kiev, and died in 1998 in Moscow. On this poster entitled America's Shame, a black man is represented in a pool of blood. It is a critique of the American civil rights situation. Among the photomontage poster artists of the 20th century, Viktor Borisovich Koretskii stands out as one of the most emblematic. His prolific career in the Soviet Union began in the 1930s and ended in the 1980s, and his unique artistic style has influenced generations of graphic designers. During World War II, Koretskii designed propaganda posters for the war effort. Later, he designed the first Soviet postage stamp dedicated to World War II. In 1946 and 1949, Viktor Koretskii received the Stalin Prize for his artistic work. In 1964, Viktor Koretskii was awarded the title of Honored Artistic Worker of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and in the same year he received a gold medal from the Soviet Peace...

1967 original Soviet poster by G. Komoltsev, titled American Democracy
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1967 original Soviet poster by G. Komoltsev, titled "Démocratie Américaine," is a striking example of Cold War-era propaganda that reflects the intense ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. The poster critiques American democracy, portraying it as hypocritical and violent. This powerful visual commentary was produced at the height of the Vietnam War and during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, two major issues that Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted to criticize the U.S. G. Komoltsev, a Soviet artist, employed bold imagery and stark contrasts to make a political statement. The design of the poster features a fragmented American flag, with images that depict scenes of police brutality and military intervention, a visual representation of what the Soviet Union portrayed as the reality behind the American ideal of democracy. The use of red, white, and blue in the poster echoes the American flag, but the imagery contained within these colors tells a very different story, emphasizing conflict, oppression, and inequality. This poster was part of a broader campaign by the Soviet Union to undermine the global image of the United States by highlighting domestic issues such as racial inequality, protests against the Vietnam War, and civil unrest. Soviet propaganda during this period frequently contrasted the social upheavals in the United States with the purported stability and equality of the socialist system. Posters like "Démocratie Américaine" were distributed widely in Soviet territories and in allied countries as part of this ideological battle. The bold, graphic style of the poster is typical of Soviet propaganda art...
