EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic sculpture "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" by Vera Mukhina, located in Moscow. Made of stainless steel, this masterpiece was originally created for the 1937 Exposition Universelle in Paris. The sculpture represents the ideals of communism, with a male worker and a female collective farm worker standing side by side, symbolizing unity between industry and agriculture. The photograph is taken from a calendar titled "Thirty Years of the Soviet State 1917-1947" published in Moscow in 1947. It showcases the historical significance of this artwork during that era. The image highlights the contrast between light and shadow, adding depth to Mukhina's intricate design. This powerful allegorical figure stands as an enduring symbol of labor, progress, and equality. It reflects both the industrialization efforts taking place at that time and celebrates women's contributions to society. The photo provides us with a glimpse into early twentieth-century Russia - a period marked by political upheaval but also significant advancements in industry. Through this image, we can appreciate not only Mukhina's artistic talent but also gain insight into the social dynamics of that era. Overall, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on history while appreciating art's ability to capture important moments within societies' evolution.
