Alexander Deyneka
Alexander Deyneka painted Shower After the Battle in 1942.
Peinture audacieuse dans la Russie de Staline. The way of Deyneka to get around the Soviet censors in realist depictions of male nudes. The travails of war permit the impermissible in the arts.
It really does look like one of those military shower photos. Quite nice.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does.
DeleteObservation: I can't believe that this was supposed to be a "war battle," given the 3 smiles. Maybe an academic or athletic battle?
ReplyDeleteThey might be happy just to still be alive.
