EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the imposing presence of the Soviet Union building at the 1937 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne. The international exhibition, held in Paris, France, showcased the latest advancements in art and technology from around the world. The Soviet Union pavilion, designed by Russian architects Ilya Mordvinov and Vladimir Shukhov, was a striking example of modernist, brutalist architecture. The building's massive, angular structure, clad in white marble and gray granite, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. A large, sculptural hammer and sickle emblem adorns the facade, symbolizing the unity of the working class and the power of the Soviet Union. At the base of the building, a group of people, dressed in the fashion of the 1930s, gather around, taking in the impressive sight. The Soviet Union building was a testament to the Soviet Union's commitment to progress and innovation. It represented the country's industrial might and its ambition to be a leader in the modern world. The use of modernist architecture, which was popular in Europe at the time, was a deliberate choice to showcase the Soviet Union's forward-thinking approach. The Paris Expo was a significant event in the history of international exhibitions, and the Soviet Union building was one of its most memorable structures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Soviet Union was making its mark on the global stage.
