ANONYMOUS ARTIST [possibly SPERANSKY, P.]. Have You

Lot Passed

Vypolnil li ty razverstku? [Have You Met the Foods Apportionment Quota?], a poster by an anonymous artist. Published by GIZ, Kazan, 1920. 61 x38 cm.

Aside from the war effort, prodrazverstka appears to be the most common topic of Soviet political posters in 1920. The poster shown was attributed by one of its previous owners to Pyotr Speransky (Pyotr Sennikov, 1890-1964, People's Artist of Tatar Autonomous Soviet Republic), but we were unable to verify this attribution independently. Speransky studied and lived in Kazan, and later became a prominent theater artist.

Search extension words / key tags: Russian poster, Soviet propaganda.
