Pen & Ink original drawing, thought to be based on the Russian novel “Kotlovan” by Andrea Platonov. Not Dated 24″ x 32″
Although “Kotlovan” is about the cruelty ordinary people suffered under Stalin’s policies, it’s unclear if the drawing was necessarily meant as an illustration for the book. Stalin’s face is on the flag with the Karl Marx Communist Manifesto slogan “Workers of the world, Unite!” It depicts workers being crushed under Stalin’s brutal policies.
