EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure in 1931. Created by renowned artist El Lissitzky, this print showcases the park's vibrant energy during winter. The image portrays a woman engaging in sports training, symbolizing the importance of health and youthfulness. The snowy landscape serves as a backdrop for various winter activities, with skiing taking center stage. The skier's powerful body glides effortlessly through the snow-covered terrain, embodying strength and athleticism. This depiction highlights the significance of physical education and promotes winter sports as a means of leisure and amusement. Located in Moscow, Russia, Gorky Central Park was not only an entertainment hub but also served as a platform for political propaganda during that era. This poster is an example of Soviet political agitation art known as socialist realism – promoting physical culture to inspire citizens towards productivity. El Lissitzky's fine art lithograph beautifully combines graphic design elements with propaganda aesthetics to convey messages about socialism and heroism. It represents the shock work movement prevalent at that time when workers were encouraged to exceed their limits for industrial progress. Preserved within the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into both history and artistic expression from early 20th-century Russia. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today with its striking composition depicting joyous moments amidst wintry landscapes.
