SOVIET SATIRICAL POSTER MAQUETTE PAINTING BY KAMINSKY
A rare mixed media on paper painting, an illustration maquette of the Russian Soviet satirical poster Burnout at work, designed by Leonid Kaminsky for The Fighting Pencil Group. Leonid Kaminsky, 1931 to 2005, Soviet graphic artist, member of the Fighting Pencil - a creative association of Leningrad artists who produced propaganda posters in the USSR. The Russian title text read as follows: Burnout at work. The poster maquette depicts the research institute Cold, with two orderlies in the foreground carrying out a burned employee who was literally and metaphorically Burnout at work. The name of the Research Institute - Cold and the appearance of its employees, which the viewer can see in the open windows of the building, makes the poster satirical.
