Idet voina narodnaia… 1941 - 1945 (The people's war is raging…1941 - 1945)
St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2015. sewn cl. Artists, both professional and amateur, created the works from 1941 to 1945 which are published in this Russian Museum exhibition catalogue. Many were done in Leningrad during the siege, others in Moscow, and some on the front. Together paintings, drawings, posters, and sculpture run the gamut of styles—Ely Beliutin's almost abstract ranges of peering faces in a bomb shelter to Petr Konchalovskii's staid portrait of the pilot A. B. Iumashev — but all are united by the theme of national struggle and ultimate victory. Paintings and drawings predominate, but there are also examples of sculpture, poster art, which are often more than images of political agitation. 22 cm, approx. 250 color and b/w illus., Rus.
