Boris SYLKIN (? - ?) Join the Red Cavalry. Placard. 1920. National Art Museum of Ukraine. Kyiv. |
|
Among the placards of the time of the civil war in Russia and Ukraine which gained worldwide fame as prominent works of art, there are several not-singed ones which were printed in Kyiv in 1920. These placards, Join the Red Cavalry and Mount, Worker and Peasant! were exhibited, in particular, at such grandiose exhibitions as Paris-Moscow and Moscow-Paris as anonymous ones. Working in the archives, I found the name of the painter – Boris Sylkin. I also managed to identify the names of the authors of some other placard masterpieces – A. Petritsky, I. Rabinovich, B. Kosarev, O. Marenkov – who worked in a cubist/futuristic and secession manners.
