Description
“Strength of Labor — Unity, Industry, Progress” is a commanding example of Soviet reconstruction-era propaganda, designed to elevate the role of industrial labor in shaping the nation’s future. At the center of the composition, a massive gloved hand grips a steel gear, symbolizing control over industry and the power of the working class.
Surrounding scenes depict factory workers, welders, machinists, and sprawling industrial infrastructure. Smokestacks, machinery, and bold red graphic elements reinforce themes of productivity and coordination. The hammer-and-sickle motif and sharp diagonal rays anchor the poster firmly within the Constructivist visual tradition — a style built to communicate urgency, strength, and ideological clarity.
This carefully restored edition preserves the original poster’s dramatic contrasts, distressed textures, and graphic intensity while delivering a crisp, museum-quality print suitable for modern interiors.
An impactful piece for collectors of political art, industrial history, and early modern graphic design.
