Death to Capital - or Death Under the Heel of Capital!, 1919 - A Powerful Symbol of Revolution and Struggle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1919, titled "Death to Capital - or Death Under the Heel of Capital!", encapsulates the essence of a turbulent era in Russian history. Found in the esteemed Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, this fine art piece represents an amalgamation of agitation, allegory, and anxiety that characterized the aftermath of the October Revolution. The color lithograph showcases a vivid depiction by Deni Denisov and Viktor Nikolaevich, two prominent artists known for their contributions to Soviet political agitation art. It portrays a peasant worker standing defiantly against a backdrop symbolizing power and oppression. The image serves as both propaganda and an embodiment of proletarian resistance against capitalism. During this period marked by civil war between the Red Army (proletariat) and White Guard (counter-revolutionaries), such posters played a crucial role in mobilizing support for national uprisings. This particular artwork reflects socialist realism, with its emphasis on glorifying workers' struggles while denouncing bourgeois exploitation. As we observe this historical artifact today, it offers us insight into Russia's revolutionary past – reminding us not only of its significance but also serving as a reminder that revolutions are fueled by people's aspirations for change. This print stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and continues to inspire generations with its potent symbolism.
