EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the stark contrast between the opulent silver and gold church decorations and the humble origins of their funding - hard-earned kopecks. Created in 1922 by Dmitri Stachievich Moor, a prominent figure in Soviet political agitation art, this colour lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the anti-religious propaganda prevalent during that time.
The intricate details of the church decorations stand in sharp relief against the simple coins scattered at their base, symbolizing the disparity between wealth and poverty. The juxtaposition is further emphasized by Moor's use of bold colors and striking imagery, drawing attention to the message he seeks to convey.
In a society undergoing significant political upheaval, this poster served as a tool for promoting atheism and socialist ideals. It reflects not only Moor's artistic talent but also his commitment to using his work as a means of social commentary.
Today, this print remains an important historical artifact, offering viewers insight into the turbulent times of early 20th-century Russia. It stands as a testament to both the power of propaganda art and the enduring legacy of artists who dared to challenge societal norms through their work.
