Russia

S. Mirzoyan, A. Ivanov The first Five Year Plan aims to build up heavy industry from virtually nothing. This poster advertizes a state loan for the building of large factories.

 

Nikolay DolgorukovThe aims of the Five Year Plan are extremely high already. Then Stalin decides they have to be achieved in four years. Everything is subordinated to this, with desastrous long-turn effects

 

Gustav Klutsis

One of Klutsis' most famous photomontages. With the heavily emphasized diagonal, the dynamic composition and the strong contrasts, this poster is one of the classics of Constructivism. The first impression of 30.000 copies had a selling price of 80 copecks, which is next to nothing. The estimated market value of a copy in good condition nowadays is over $ 10.000.
