John Hay Library
20 Prospect Street
and
David Winton Bell Gallery
64 College St.

Views and Re-Views includes posters, cartoons, photomontages, and postcards spanning more than six decades, from the time of the Russian Civil War (1918 – 21) into the late Soviet period. The exhibition includes well-known Soviet graphic works, by such artists as Viktor Deni, Dmitri Moor, El Lissitsky, and Gustav Klutsis, as well as lesser-known, but equally compelling works by the Kukryniksy (a three-artist collaborative), Alexander Zhitomirsky, and others. Drawn from an extensive private collection of Soviet propaganda, the exhibition includes more than 160 images and was co-curated by Abbott (Tom) Gleason, Keeney Professor of History Emeritus, and Jo-Ann Conklin, director of the David Winton Bell Gallery.
