Description
Ya drugoi takoi strani ne znayu, gde tak vol’no dishit chelovek! [I Know of No Other Country Where People Breathe So Freely!], a poster by Viktor Koretsky (1909–1998, Meritorious Artist of the Russian Federation). Published by Iskusstvo, Moscow-Leningrad, 1945. 83 x 58 cm.
This poster captures the pride and great relief felt by every Soviet citizen once the bloody, protracted war had finally come to an end. The caption uses a line from Song of the Motherland, as beloved in Russia as America the Beautiful is in the United States.
During WWII, Koretsky’s posters proved very popular, and this success had restored, to some degree, the acceptability of photomontage as a style of Soviet political poster. For a detailed discussion of the artist’s biography and his body of work, see for example Erica Wolf’s Koretsky: The Soviet Photo Poster: 1930-1984 .
