EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of a series of 11 wrappers from Krasnoarmeiskaia Zvezda (Red Army Star) caramels, created by the renowned Russian poet and artist Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1924. The vibrant color lithograph depicts a powerful propaganda message marking the victories of the Red Army in the Civil War and calling all citizens to defend their nation. The wrapper features an intriguing illustration with a reaching hand holding a knife, symbolizing both protection and aggression. A prominent red star army emblem is displayed proudly on top, representing Soviet power and unity. The cleverly crafted text reads, "Be on your guard against the Entente - they are also attracted to our chunks of bread" urging vigilance against foreign powers seeking to undermine Russia's progress. Mayakovsky's design combines elements of confectionary packaging with political messaging, creating an impactful visual representation that resonates even today. This unique artwork not only serves as a historical artifact but also highlights how art can be used as a tool for propaganda during times of conflict. Preserved in private collection, this rare piece offers us insight into Mayakovsky's artistic genius and his contribution to shaping Soviet culture. It reminds us that art has always played an essential role in conveying ideas and mobilizing communities towards common goals.
