PYKHOV, D. Merit Certificate of the Bonds Placement

Lot Passed

Pochyotnaya Gramota [Certificate of Merit] - an award bestowed jointly by the Commissariat of Finances and by the Trade Unions Council to collectives that had distinguished themselves in the 1932 State bonds placement campaign - designed by D. Pykhov. Produced for Finizdat by OGIZ-IZOGIZ, Moscow-Leningrad, 1932. 51.5 x 37.5 cm.

We were unable to uncover much information about the artist behind this poster-size certificate. A number of posters had appeared under D.Ya. Pykhov's name between 1935 and 1955, all on agricultural topics; he had also illustrated a number of agricultural and culinary books. Judging by this attractive photomontage design, further research into the artist's body of work may be merited.

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