What is "Socialist Realism"?
Socialist Realism was an art movement that began in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and spread to other communist countries. It focused on creating art that promoted the values of socialism and praised the achievements of the working class. Artists like Alexander Deineka and Isaak Brodsky were known for producing works that depicted scenes of workers, farmers, and everyday life in a way that made things seem better than they were, appearing positive and encouraging. The movement aimed to support the goals of the state by showing the progress and success of socialist society, often emphasizing honorable and hopeful themes to inspire and match government values.
