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

A fine art 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. Printed on museum-quality matte paper, ready to frame to your own specification.

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.
