Soviet Art

Today as I was signing on to my blog and I saw a list of blogs that are getting a lot of attention. One of them caught my eye and I had to take a look. It's called A Soviet Poster A Day. This guy posts a new soviet poster everyday and writes about the history of each one. For me it was fascinating looking at the different artists work and reading the story behind them. Here are just a few of them. I thought my friends (especially on this side of the world) would enjoy taking a look at this blog.


To fly higher than all, farther than all, faster than all! D. Pjatkin, 1954



Resintrust Galoshes V. Bayuskin, 1925



The finishing ribbon says: all world records must to be ours. Govorkov V. I., 1935

The posters are pretty cool aren't they?

They totally reflect the soviet life and politics! :)

But if we can't we will lie to ourselves that we are the best anyway)"

Wow, Danny did you use the D word?! You must be pretty T.O'd.
Sorry about that.
I really found them interesting. When I found them I thought you would dig them.

Mira, glad you like them.

Thanks Conor for bringing this blog to my attention. I studied some of the artwork in school so it's cool to see some more of the political and advertising posters that this guy puts up on his blog.

Conor,

Are you alive? 7 days without blogging?

I know it has been like a month for me but I don't love my blog quite as much as you love yours!!!

Give us some love baby!

Conor and Koren said...

Jake, glad to see you found a reason to live. May I ask what it was?

When are you going to post next on Anya's blog?

Love you man!

Olya Velichko said...

Common Jake, you love your blog just as much as Conor does. Are not you proud of your hits?

And I agree that Anya does a good job posting!

Jake Knotts said...

Anya's blog has brought our hits back up over 50 a day. I am fine with that.

Bottom line is as soon as we get back to UA she will stop blogging because all of her friends and family are over there.

I will start again (possibily) once I am back in CV.

I just have more important things to do like drink Dr. Pepper and eat Tri-Tip off of the BBQ and enjoy the 75+weather all day long!

Conor and Koren said...

Don't forget to start that shell collection....

I am practicing my golf swing right now conor!
