Russian Art Exhibit (Q. Austin Co., 1924)...

Description

Russian Art Exhibit (Q. Austin Co., 1924) Art Exhibition Poster (22" X 28"). This image of a Russian peasant sets the tone for this 1924 poster that was created to advertise an exhibition of art at New York's Grand Central Palace, located near Grand Central Terminal. For years, before there were any other large venues, the Palace was home to such major events as the New York Auto Show. The realistic nature of the poster reflects what was to become the social realism that dominated Russian art for so many years. The exhibition represented a thaw in post revolution relations between the U.S. and the new government. Fine+ condition on Linen.
