Voloshin, A.

Minimal published information is available on the artist A. Voloshin nor is there apparent data that reveals the artist's name. Voloshin produced a number of posters from 1939 until at least the mid-1970s. It is possible the artist used a pseudonym but this is not proven. According to published information, in March 1942, the art council of Iskusstvo Publishing and the editor of Ogonyok magazine were reprimanded for distributing a Voloshin poster that “distorted the image of Lenin.” A. Voloshin should not be confused with Aleksandr Kirillovich Voloshin who was a monumental and decorative artist in the Soviet Union.
