EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "4. Get the plough and harrow in full repair. ROSTA Window No 81,1921" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Russian Revolution of 1917. The image is part of a private collection that showcases the power of art as a tool for political propaganda and agitation. Created by Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky, an influential figure in Soviet political agitation art, this fine art piece combines gouache and ink on paper to convey its message effectively. The poster features a peasant worker surrounded by symbols representing the proletariat and national uprising. The artwork serves as a call to action for peasants to restore their farming tools, specifically emphasizing the importance of repairing ploughs and harrows. It reflects both anxiety about agricultural productivity during those turbulent times and the revolutionary spirit that aimed at empowering the working class. The ROSTA Window series was known for its bold graphic design style, which became synonymous with socialist realism – an artistic movement promoting proletarian ideals through visual representation. This particular window highlights Mayakovsky's talent in capturing attention through striking imagery while conveying powerful messages. As we observe this historical artifact today, it reminds us not only of Russia's past but also how art can be used as a medium for social change and political discourse.
