Viktor Ivanov
Glory to the Soviet Working Women
1964
It is a COPY
Is made on modern paper
Russia, in the years immediately before and after the political Revolution, was a revolutionary country for artists as well. New ways of rendering the external world of observation, as well as the internal world of emotion, led many to believe that Russia might soon rival in terms of the visual arts her long eminence in literature.
Fierce growing pains of the post-revolutionary years, to which were added the horror and heroism of world war, changed the course of painting in the Soviet Union to a considerable degree.
As well as the ordinary difficultier of communication, this divorced painters from developments in the West where modern art has in the main flourished as a kind of opposition to the norms and values of modern societies. In recent years, however, scholars and collectors both inside and outside the Soviet Union, have recognized the stirrings of a remarkable new period in Soviet art. Too diffuse to constitute a movement, the painters represented here have some qualities in common. They are mostly young. They are sophisticated, in that they are well aware of what is going on in painting in the West.
There is also a special Russian wit, a satirical bite even, in the best of their paintings. They are, as painters should be, eye-openers. They say a great deal about this exciting period of Soviet history.
