EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Soviet porcelain propaganda plate from the early 20th century. Measuring at 25.1 cm, this exquisite piece of kitchenware features a remarkable painting depicting a worker and a peasant shaking hands. The artist, belonging to the Russian School of the 20th century, skillfully captures the essence of camaraderie and unity between these two societal pillars. The image portrays an important moment in history when workers and peasants joined forces to build a new society in post-revolutionary Russia. With its vibrant colors and intricate decorative technique, this plate serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a powerful tool for spreading political ideology. Set against a grey background, the male likenesses on this overglazed porcelain plate symbolize the hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to shaping their nation's destiny. The representation of poverty is evident through subtle details such as destitute clothing worn by both figures. Despite their humble circumstances, manners are upheld with dignity as they greet each other warmly. This close-up view allows us to appreciate every brushstroke that brings life to this historic scene. As we delve into this photograph's rich symbolism, it becomes clear that it not only reflects working life but also highlights the importance of solidarity within society during those turbulent times. With its colorful palette and meticulous craftsmanship, this artwork stands as an enduring testament to early 20th-century Soviet propaganda artistry. Preserved in private collection today, it reminds us of our past struggles while inspiring hope for a better future where cooperation triumphs over adversity.
