Item Details
Description
A vintage Soviet propaganda poster, promoting the construction of the Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM), a railroad connecting the eastern and western parts of the Soviet Union. Completing the BAM was one of the major focuses of the USSR's Tenth Five Year Plan (1976-1980). The text on this poster says the wealth of Siberia is for the whole country, citing the economic advantage of completing the BAM. The artist, Boris Reshetnikov, graduated from both the prestigious Saratov Technical School for Arts and the Latvian Arts Academy. In 1956 he moved to Moscow, embarking on a successful career as a poster artist. His works were regularly shown at major poster exhibitions, both in the Soviet Union and in the West. Upon retiring in 1991, the artist turned to drawing. Russia, 1978; marked at lower left with artist's name (Reshetnikov). Dimensions: approx. 34" W x 22" H.
Condition
Large tear under text, some wear to the lower right corner; some small stains on the verso can show through slightly.
