Description
The Artist Boris Kozachenko, was a vivid representative of Socialist Realism. Mostly he painted landscapes and genre scenes. Socialist Realism Art was prevailing in the Soviet Union from 1932 to the mid-1980. Socialist Realism follows the great tradition of 19th century Russian realism in that it purports to be a faithful and objective mirror of life. Socialist Realism thus looks back to Romanticism in that it encourages a certain heightening and idealizing of heroes and events to shape the consciousness of the masses.
