Item Details
Description
Synok, rodimy moi!...Osvoboditel’ moy!... [My dear son!... My Liberator!...], a poster by Fedor Antonov (1904–1994, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation). Published by Iskusstvo, Moscow - Leningrad, 1943, 47.5 x 32.5 cm.

The poster celebrates the 1943 Soviet successes in recapturing the territories overrun by Germans earlier in the war.

Antonov studied in Moscow VKhUTEIN, and originally trained to become an industrial artist, specializing in textile design. At the Textile Exhibition in Milan, his designs were awarded a gold medal (1927). He started exhibiting with the OST (The Society of Easel Painters) art group, and later collaborated with Deineka (whom he likely befriended at OST) on several monumentalist projects. During WWII, the artist produced a fair number of posters, along with a series of well-received portraits of war heroes.
