A SOVIET PROPAGANDA SATIRICAL POSTER 1985
A rare maquette of the Russian Soviet satirical poster Drink Up, presumably designed by Yuri Trunev (1921-1986), Soviet graphic artist, member of the Fighting Pencil - a creative association of Leningrad artists who produced propaganda posters in the USSR. The Russian text read as follows: Drink Up. The poster maquette depicts a captain and a sailor drinking alcohol on a ship. The Russian wordplay text read as follows: Drink Up. Toast means to drink to the bottom of the glass, but since they are in the workplace, it can lead to the ship's sinking to the bottom of the sea. Printed by The artist of the RSFSR publishing house, 1985. There are original signatures, notes, and stamps on the backside of the maquette for the poster. Paper, mixed media.
Dimensions: 22 1/2 x 17 in.
