Gustavs Klucis: Lenin’s poster boy, careerist or enemy of the state?

The Arts Society Leicester present Gustavs Klucis: Lenin’s poster boy, careerist or enemy of the state?

Speaker - Astrid Bolodis

Gustavs Klucis was born in a region of the Russian Empire that would become the independent Republic of Latvia. His life and practice followed the trajectory of the Bolshevik Revolution, the death of Lenin and the eventual acknowledgement of Joseph Stalin as leader of the Soviet Union, and it ended during the Great Terror. The talk will illustrate how his work and ambition was influenced by other artists and adapted in response to the politics and economics of his time.
