EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Before: One with the plough, seven with a spoon. Now: He who does not work shall not eat, 1920" captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history. The image, found in the Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, showcases an anxiety-inducing scene from 1917. The colour lithograph by Dmitri Stachievich (1883-1946) is a fine example of art that intertwines history and graphic design. It depicts a national uprising during the Russian Revolution, highlighting the power of the people and their struggle for change. In this thought-provoking poster, we witness a moor filled with individuals fighting for their rights and demanding justice. The message conveyed is clear - before, one person could cultivate land using a plough while others relied on spoons to survive. However, now there is no room for idleness as those who do not work shall not eat. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and Soviet political agitation art. It encapsulates the spirit of revolution that swept across Russia during this tumultuous period. Preserved within the walls of Russian State Library, this photograph print stands as a testament to an era defined by radical transformation and social upheaval. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it offers us insight into past struggles while reminding us how far society has come since then.
