Step into the provocative world of Cold War art with this original 1978 propaganda poster that translates to "With the Root."
This compelling piece, crafted by the talented Smirnov, stands as a powerful emblem of the era's plea for universal disarmament. The stark white backdrop serves to amplify the vivid blue illustration of a clenched fist, which tenaciously grips a tree – not of nature, but of missiles, topped by a B-1 Bomber. Intricately, the roots morph into symbols all too familiar in the global economic landscape: the U.S. dollar and either the British pound or Italian lira, a stark commentary on the intertwining of military might and economic power.
Smirnov's creation is more than art; it is a historical artifact that encapsulates the tensions and aspirations of its time. This poster is not just a piece of memorabilia but a call to action, a reminder of the power of visual art to influence ideology and advocate for a peaceful future.
A classic piece of USSR and Russian propaganda poster art history.
