Poster Art
The books imported by Bronze Horseman in this category range cover a gauntlet of forms, purposes, and styles: advertising posters from the late imperial period; cinemas posters of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s; World War II posters designed and published in Moscow that kept up morale even as Nazi troops threatened to encircle the capital; Soviet-era posters from the Museum of the History of Religion attacking priests and undermining the Russian Orthodox Church; and propaganda murals applied to the sides of trains to spread the Bolshevik cause during the first years of the Soviet regime. Major artists of the World of Art circle did advertising posters in the late tsarist period (e.g., Ivan Bilibin, Leon Bakst), just as those of the avant-garde did futurist broadsides (e.g., Vladimir Mayakovsky) and children's books employing photomontage (e.g., Gustav Klutsis)
