Talk: 50 Years of Russian History in Posters 1890-1940
Our next evening talk will be on Soviet poster design, to coincide with Russian Art Week and Russian Film Week in London.
This talk will cover the period of dramatic change that Russia experienced in the 50 year period from 1890 to 1940. The profound shifts in the political and socio-economic structure of society will be linked to the imagery expressed in posters, from life in Imperial Russia under the Tsars to life in the Soviet Union under Stalin.
Wednesday 30 November, 7-8pm
Tickets: £5 (includes welcome drink). Places are limited. Tickets are available to purchase online at www.AntikBar.co.uk and at our gallery: AntikBar, 404 King’s Road, London SW10 0LJ
This event has been featured by Russian Art + Culture in their Russian Art Week London event guide (page 25):
