Poster Plakat
Poster of the Week
This poster commemorates the first anniversary of the October Revolution. It was designed by Alexandr Petrovich Apsit (Apsitis) who also designed posters using the pseudonym, 'skif'. Starting in 1918, Apsit dedicated himself exclusively to the production of political posters for the Council of People's Commissars (SovNarKom). Although he created a number of the most canonical Soviet political posters, his contemporary critics, and later Soviet critics attacked his work, including fellow poster artist Dmitri Moor.
