EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Active, learn!, 1927" showcases a powerful symbol of the Russian proletariat's struggle against illiteracy. Housed in the esteemed Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this fine art image represents an era of intense political agitation and propaganda known as socialist realism. The poster features a dynamic scene depicting a determined worker, representing the working class, alongside a peasant figure. Together, they embody the collective effort to eradicate illiteracy and promote education among all citizens. The vibrant colours used in this colour lithograph highlight the urgency and importance of this mission. Created by Gustav Klutsis (1895-1938), one of the pioneers of Soviet political agitation art, this piece is emblematic of his innovative graphic design techniques. Klutsis was renowned for his ability to convey complex messages through visually striking compositions. During this period in history, known as the cultural revolution, promoting literacy became crucial for building a strong socialist society. This poster reflects not only the government's commitment to educating its people but also serves as an agitprop tool aimed at inspiring active participation from every citizen. As we admire this historic artwork today, it reminds us that education is not merely about acquiring knowledge but also about empowering individuals and communities to shape their own destinies.
