1920 Anti Capitalist Berry Bolshevik Caricature Flower Gold Greed Killing Money Political Red Army Russia Russian Satire Soviet Soviet Union Stabbing Watering Can Wealthy Capitalist
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ANTI-CAPITALIST CARTOON" showcases a powerful political statement through the art of caricature. On the left side, we see a delicate golden flower representing capitalism, while its stem is labeled with the word "Capitalism" and its buds symbolize roubles, highlighting the connection between money and this economic system. However, on the right side of the image, we are confronted with "The Red Berry" a Bolshevik figure stabbing a larger-than-life capitalist. Dating back to 1920 in Russia, this postcard reflects an era marked by political unrest and social upheaval. The artist employs satire to depict how greed and wealth can lead to violence and oppression within society. The imagery suggests that those who hold power in capitalist systems may face resistance from revolutionary forces seeking equality. The inclusion of symbols such as the watering can implies that change requires nurturing and active participation from individuals willing to challenge established norms. This anti-capitalist cartoon serves as both a critique of wealth disparity and an expression of support for Soviet ideals during this tumultuous period in Russian history. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect upon socio-political dynamics while appreciating its artistic value. It stands as a testament to how art can be used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a medium for conveying powerful messages about societal issues that continue to resonate today.
