EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Petroleum" is a powerful illustration from the book "USSR Builds Socialism" by El Lissitzky, created in 1933. The artwork can be found in the esteemed Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow. The image showcases the essence of Soviet industrialization and its impact on society during that time. It depicts a dynamic scene filled with workers, symbolizing the proletariat, diligently constructing and electrifying their nation. Lissitzky's use of photomontage and lithography techniques adds depth to this political poster, making it an iconic piece of Russian avant-garde art. Through this visually striking composition, Lissitzky aims to convey the message of progress and unity under Lenin's leadership. The petroleum industry serves as a metaphor for fueling the growth and development of the USSR. This propaganda artwork not only celebrates technological advancements but also emphasizes collective effort towards building socialism. The significance of this print lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context. It reflects the era when Russia was transitioning into an industrial powerhouse, transforming itself into a global player through rapid modernization. As we admire this fine example of graphic design from 1933, we are reminded of how art can serve as a tool for political agitation and propaganda while encapsulating important moments in history.
