KUKRYNIKSY. A Tiny (Prison) Mansion, 1942
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
Terem - Tyuremok [A Tiny (Prison) Mansion], a poster by the Kukryniksy collective. Published by Iskusstvo, Moscow-Leningrad, 1942, 86.5 x 57.5 cm.br>In the folk tale Teremok [A Tiny Mansion], familiar since childhood to every Russian, one animal after another settles in a tiny old house; finally, a huge bear brings down the whole structure. In Kukryniksy’s version, the role of the bear is assigned to the Soviet warrior, who destroys the house build by Hitler and his cohorts. It is unclear whether the ?Russian Bear” allusion that would immediately occur to a Western viewer was really intended, as it wasn’t particularly popular in Russia. The pun in the poster’s title plays on the phonetic similarities of the Russian words ?terem” (mansion) and ?tyur’ma” (prison), which use the same consonants in the same order.
