Soviet Art refers to the artistic movements and styles that emerged in the Soviet Union from 1917 until its dissolution in 1991. It was heavily influenced by the political climate and aimed to promote the ideals of Communism and the Soviet government. Artists often used their work to convey messages of social realism, depicting everyday life, workers, and the achievements of the state. Key movements within Soviet Art include Socialist Realism, which became the official style in the 1930s, emphasizing optimism and heroism. Other forms, such as Constructivism and Suprematism, focused on abstraction and modernism, reflecting the revolutionary spirit of the time.
