I love the WW2 USSR posters and art myself. EDIT: Is there a site that archives art like that (posters, magazines, zines etc.)?

Just a few random examples, not necessarily my favorites As for poster art, there's just too much to choose from, but here are a few i found recently: I like the internationalism in this one This one just encapsulates optimism for the future And i appreciate how this one highlights industry and agriculture And really we should also not forget to mention music as another form of socialist art, but again, way too much to choose from there, best left to a separate post. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] znsh@lemmygrad.ml [S] 3 points 5 months ago* (1 child) I like the internationalism in this one Setting this as my profile banner as we speak. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) Nice. It's called "Fighting for Peace", created for International Workers' Day in 1950 by a Romanian artist. (I just felt i had to represent socialist Romania; it produced some great art - including film and music - during the socialist period and i sometimes feel like we are a bit under-appreciated among the socialist bloc.) permalink fedilink source parent
