1934 Artist Engineering Female Realism Social Soviet Starting Ussr Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A la manivelle (Starting Up). Female engineering worker" by artist A Samokhvalov in 1934 takes us back to the Soviet era, offering a glimpse into the world of female workers in Russia. The image showcases a young woman, dressed in sturdy work attire, confidently starting up machinery with a hand crank. Her determined expression and focused gaze reflect her dedication to her craft. The realism captured in this artwork is striking, as it highlights the social progress made during that time period. In an era when gender roles were rigidly defined, this powerful portrayal challenges traditional norms by showcasing women's involvement in typically male-dominated fields such as engineering. Samokhvalov's artistic style perfectly captures the essence of Soviet society at that time - industriousness and determination. Through his skillful brushstrokes, he brings attention to the importance of female laborers who played a significant role in driving forward industrialization efforts within the USSR. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by women throughout history. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a symbol of empowerment for females breaking barriers within their chosen professions.
