EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful poster created by the talented artist Alexander Petrovich Apsit in 1918. The poster, found in the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, is an iconic symbol of the fight against illiteracy during that time. The image depicts a determined worker holding a book and standing alongside a peasant, representing unity and solidarity among all social classes. This artwork was part of an extensive propaganda campaign aimed at eradicating illiteracy and promoting education for all. Apsit's artistic style reflects the socialist realism movement prevalent during this period, with its emphasis on depicting realistic scenes from everyday life to convey political messages. The vibrant colours used in this colour lithograph add to its visual impact and make it stand out as a remarkable piece of graphic design. This historic photograph not only captures Apsit's exceptional talent but also serves as a reminder of Russia's commitment to improving literacy rates and empowering its people through education. It represents an era when art played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and mobilizing society towards progressive causes. As we admire this fine example of agitprop art, let us appreciate its historical significance and recognize the ongoing importance of combating illiteracy worldwide.
