{"title":"Ukraine","description":"\u003cp\u003eUkraine has a distinct graphic tradition rooted in folk art, the bold color work of the early Soviet avant-garde, and a postwar poster culture that developed its own visual character under state printing programs. The tension between official commissions and regional artistic identity produced work that looks unlike anything coming out of Moscow or the West at the same time. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"klm-eastern-europe-by-leen-spierenburg-ca-1955","title":"Visit Eastern Europe, KLM","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vibrant KLM travel poster transforms the distant mystery of Cold War-era Eastern Europe into an irresistible invitation. Attributed to Dutch designer Leen Spierenburg, the composition features a commanding figure in traditional folk costume, standing triumphant above a dreamlike skyline of Orthodox onion domes and Gothic spires.
