"Proletarian: A Journey through Revolutionary Art and History" Step into the world of proletarians, the working class heroes who shaped nations and fought for their rights. From powerful posters to iconic sculptures, these artistic masterpieces capture the essence of their struggle. In Lissitzky's "Beat the Whites with the red wedge, " a bold red triangle pierces through a sea of white, symbolizing the proletariat's determination to overcome oppression during Russia's Civil War in 1920. Pellizza da Volpedo's painting depicts workers marching unitedly towards a brighter future in "The Fourth Estate. " Their strength lies in unity as they strive for social justice at the turn of the 20th century. Fast forward to Mao Tse-tung's poster from 1973, where he greets Red Guards in Tiananmen Square during China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The image exudes revolutionary fervor and highlights Mao's influence on shaping Chinese society. Vera Mukhina immortalizes worker solidarity with her sculpture "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" in Moscow. This monumental piece stands tall as a testament to Soviet laborers' contributions amidst industrialization (b/w photo). Ivan Simakov celebrates five years since Russia’s Great Proletarian Revolution with his lithograph poster from 1922. Vibrant colors burst forth as he commemorates this pivotal moment that forever changed Russian history. Zelensky reminds us that knowledge is power in his artwork from 1920. To have more, we must produce more; but first, we must seek knowledge - an essential mantra for progress within any proletarian movement. Traveling to Spain during Catalonia’s Strike of Igualada reveals images of workers standing together against injustice. Their resilience echoes throughout history as they fight for better working conditions (Spain, Catalonia). Transporting ourselves back to Wales in 1865 captures Tredegar Iron Works' workers, their faces etched with determination.
