(Russian Circus)[S. lu Sharin, Distinguished Artist of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic and Teko.] Np: Proskurov, ca. 1960 Letterpress poster (23 7/8 x 31 7/8 in.; 608 x 810 mm). Printed in red, with 10 halftone photographic illustrations; fold and other creases, with some short separations or pinholes at intersecting creases. This poster shows Teko, under the management of S. lu Sharin, Distinguished Artist of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, demonstrating some of his skills, including playing the violin. The image at lower center is called the "Teko Transformer," which may show Teko dressed as various caricatures of enemies of Soviet Union. The second caricature from the left appears to be Charles de Gaulle holding an atom bomb, which would indicate that the poster could not be earlier than 1960. The inclusion of a caricature of a Catholic cleric also argues for a date of about 1960 since it aligns with Khrushchev's anti-religion drive. Distinguished Artist of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic was an honorary title granted to Soviet Union artists with outstanding achievements in areas as varied as theatre and film direction, choreography, music performance, and conducting. It may seem unlikely that S. lu Sharin would have received this honor, but as an unambiguously proletarian form of culture, circuses had very good state support during the Soviet period.Condition reportCondition as described in catalogue entry.
