Socialist Realism

What to look for

Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin: spherical perspective, tilted horizons and pure reds, blues and greens; figures like icons, the red horse.

Kuzma Sergeyevich Petrov-Vodkin (November 5, 1878 – February 15, 1939) was a Russian and Soviet painter. His early iconographic work used special creative effects based on the curve of the globe, but its images were considered blasphemous by the Russian Orthodox Church. Wikipedia
