EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic poster "To Horse, proletarian!" created by Alexander Petrovich Apsit in 1918. The artwork, found in the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, is a powerful representation of Soviet art during that era. The lithograph features a dynamic composition with bold colors and striking imagery. In the foreground, a determined worker dressed in revolutionary attire urges fellow proletarians to mount their horses and join the cause. Behind him, an industrial landscape symbolizes progress and modernization under communism. Apsit's artistic prowess shines through his attention to detail and skillful use of visual symbolism. The poster exudes energy and urgency, reflecting the spirit of revolution prevalent at that time. As one delves deeper into this historical piece, it becomes evident that Apsit intended to inspire unity among workers while promoting socialist ideals. This poster was likely displayed prominently throughout Russia as a call to action for individuals from all walks of life to rise up against oppression. Today, this print serves as both a reminder of Russia's tumultuous past and an homage to Apsit's contribution to graphic design. It stands as a testament to the power of art in shaping society and igniting change.
