Dmitri Moor



Help! 1921: The figure in this is thin, starving and the wheat stalk behind him looks ruined in reference to the agricultural aftermath of Russia's civil war in 1921. This is an extremely dramatic, moving image. Clear and striking.


What have YOU done to help the front? 1941: This reminds me very much of Uncle Sam and gives me a feeling of duty. I love how simple, yet authoritative, it is. I love the contrast and little use of color.

Workers of the World, Unite 1920: This poster is, again, dramatic and reminds me of a vector image. It has a powerful statement which grabs the attention of the audience.

From these three works, I can surmise that Moor created propaganda art. His messages are moving and direct. His art work is based on politics and economy.
