Framed Reproduction of 1976 Soviet Poster – Artist G. Gausman – ‘For Peace & Progress in Europe’ – Plakat, Moscow

A museum-quality framed reproduction of a striking 1976 Soviet political poster — designed by G. Gausman and published in Moscow by Plakat, the USSR’s principal state poster publisher.

Produced to mark the Conference of Communist and Workers’ Parties of Europe, held in Berlin in June 1976, this is a quintessential example of late Soviet heroism: a stalwart worker stands at a podium, set against a globe with Europe at its centre, projecting the message of international cooperation outward to the world. Gausman works in a striking tri-colour palette of deep crimson, navy blue, and cream — restrained, graphic, and compositionally assured. It sits at an interesting moment in Soviet graphic history: late-stage Socialist Realism beginning to move toward the more streamlined style that would define the late 1970s and 1980s.
