EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Project for the Komsomolskaya Metro station" in Moscow, dating back to 1949. The artwork, created by Alexey Viktorovich (1894-1949), is a remarkable example of Soviet architecture and socialist classicism during the Stalinist era. The image depicts an elevated view of the proposed metro station, revealing its grandeur and intricate design. The artist's use of gouache on cardboard brings out vibrant colors and fine details that make this piece a true work of art. The Komsomolskaya Metro station project embodies the distinctive features of Stalinist Gothic architecture, characterized by its imposing scale and ornate decorations. This style aimed to evoke a sense of power and authority while embracing traditional Russian architectural elements. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported to a time when Moscow was rapidly expanding its underground railway system known as the Moscow Metro. The subway became not only a means of transportation but also an embodiment of Soviet ideals and national pride. Preserved in the collection of State Scientific A. Shchusev Research Museum of Architecture in Moscow, this historic artwork serves as a testament to Russia's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate both past achievements and future aspirations in urban development.
