EDITORS COMMENTS
With the pen and the light of science, this powerful 1929 print reveals the hidden machinations of religious sects. Found in the esteemed Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this artwork is a striking example of agitation and anti-religious propaganda during that era. The artist, Evtify Ivanovich Topikov-Pravednikov (1890-1945), employed vibrant colour lithography to convey his message with utmost clarity. The poster's composition showcases a symbolic clash between religion and science, as a pen representing knowledge and reason shines its illuminating light on the dark secrets held by various sects. In line with Soviet political agitation art, this piece promotes atheism while critiquing organized religion. It reflects the prevailing sentiment at that time when socialist realism was encouraged as an artistic style to serve political purposes. This historical artifact holds immense value not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in shaping public opinion during a period marked by ideological conflict. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how art can be used as a tool for propaganda and social commentary. Preserved within the walls of Russian State Library, this poster serves as a testament to Russia's complex history and evolving relationship with religion. Its presence in our collection allows us to delve into these significant moments from our past while appreciating fine art images that continue to provoke thought even after many decades.
