EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The first Tractor" is an illustration from the book "USSR Builds Socialism" published in 1933. Created by Lissitzky, a prominent artist of the time, this artwork showcases the significant historical event of collectivization and industrialization in the Soviet Union. The image depicts a momentous demonstration where workers proudly present their achievement - the first tractor. This symbolizes both progress and unity among the proletariat as they strive to construct a new society based on communist principles. The electrification and modernization efforts are evident through the bold lines and dynamic composition employed by Lissitzky. Intricate photomontage techniques were utilized to create this visually striking piece, combining elements of photography with graphic design. The poster serves as political agitation art, aiming to inspire and mobilize people towards building a stronger USSR. As we delve into history, it becomes apparent that this artwork also reflects dispossession and expropriation during that era. It encapsulates not only economic transformation but also social change brought about by collective farms (kolkhoz) established across Russia under Lenin's leadership. Preserved in the Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this fine art print stands as a testament to Russian avant-garde movement's influence on propaganda posters during that period. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also its portrayal of an important chapter in Soviet history – one filled with ambition, hard work, and determination towards creating a socialist utopia
