Más información sobre el libro
This groundbreaking publication is the first in English to focus on posters created by the Soviet Union's TASS News Agency to support the war effort. Designed by a collective of writers, printers, and artists, including Mikhail Cheremnykh and the Kukryniksy, these striking six-foot-tall stenciled posters were displayed daily in public windows and sent abroad to rally support from Allied and neutral nations. Drawn from the Art Institute of Chicago's collection and other holdings, these TASS posters have remained unseen since World War II. An international team of scholars presents these posters as both historical artifacts and artworks, showcasing how leading artists employed innovative techniques to contribute to the war effort, marking a significant chapter in design and propaganda history. The publication is richly illustrated with photographs, documentary materials, and memorabilia, juxtaposed with TASS poster images. It also includes documents that highlight the expression of Russian cultural life in the United States during the war, providing a captivating glimpse into the Eastern Front experience.
