EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Every River Begins from a Small Stream, and Drunkenness From a Small Glass" takes us back to 1929 in Russia. Created by an anonymous master, this artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow. The image portrays a powerful symbol of drinking and its consequences. It captures the essence of alcoholism through vivid imagery and symbolism. The artist skillfully uses color lithography to depict a group of drinkers indulging in their vices, with bottles and glasses scattered around them. This genre scene serves as both propaganda and satire against excessive alcohol consumption prevalent during that era. Through socialist realism, this fine art piece aims to agitate society's perception towards alcohol abuse. It reflects the Soviet government's efforts to combat widespread drunkenness by employing political posters like these as tools for change. The use of vibrant colors draws attention to the issue at hand while highlighting the negative effects associated with excessive drinking. This anti-alcohol poster serves as a reminder that even small amounts can lead to detrimental outcomes. As we observe this thought-provoking artwork, it reminds us that just as every river begins from a small stream, so does drunkenness start from seemingly harmless actions. It prompts contemplation on personal responsibility when consuming spirits and raises awareness about the dangers of alcoholism within society.
