EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Knees, 1920s" by Lev Solomonovich Galperin (1886-1938) offers a glimpse into the tumultuous era of early 20th-century Russia. Housed in the esteemed Collection of Regional I. Savitsky Art Museum in Nukus, this artwork showcases Galperin's mastery of gouache on paper. The image itself is shrouded in allegory and literature, reflecting the artist's exploration of Russian mythology and avant-garde techniques. However, beneath its artistic allure lies a deeper narrative rooted in historical events that forever scarred the nation. During this period, Russia was plagued by political persecution and repression under Joseph Stalin's regime. The Great Purge or Great Terror saw countless individuals imprisoned or sent to labor camps known as Gulags. Galperin's work serves as a poignant reminder of these dark times when fear permeated every aspect of society. Through his brushstrokes, he captures both the physical and emotional anguish experienced by those who fell victim to state-sanctioned terror. This painting stands as an enduring testament to human resilience amidst unimaginable suffering. As we gaze upon this powerful piece, let us remember not only its artistic brilliance but also the harrowing history it represents – a chapter that must never be forgotten nor repeated again.
