Шадр | Воронова Ольга Серия ЖЗЛ

1969 edition. The condition is good. The essence of the revolutionary upheaval, the menacing, anxious and joyful days is embodied in Shadr’s sculptures. And at the same time, in their depth of thought, excited by passion, and the desire for justice, they are contemporary with us. Textbooks in the best sense of the word, like “Marseillaise”, like Mayakovsky’s poems, they became a symbol of the era. They are familiar even to those who have never heard the name of the artist who created them. And he had a simple name, there are thousands of them in Russia - Ivan Ivanov. But he is better known under the pseudonym Shadr, a pseudonym chosen by the sculptor in honor of his hometown - Shadrinsk.
