Description: The political poster is one of the most exciting art phenomena of revolutionary Russia. Its visual language at that period was formed by the bright and simple symbols clear to the wide public at large. The political poster at the first years of Soviet Russia promoted the formation of a ?new type of human?. The specifics of this art form, its short and militant slogan, lapidary and expressive image, thoughtful gesture are distinctly expressed in the best posters of revolutionary Russia. During these years the artistic poster was completely integrated in the life of Soviet Russia, its culture and ideology. The photos of the revolutionary time supplement the exhibition and represent a unique documentary evidence of the dramatic Russian history of that time.00Exhibition: The State Russian Museum, Málaga, Spain (10.8.2017 - 21.1.2018).
