Soviet Film Posters – Update

Seventh Heaven Regular Daily Mirror reader Gary Martin visited the exhibit of Soviet film posters at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery and files this post:

American museums have all become so look alike and all show such similar works by the same small handful of artists, all of whom apparently knew how to Make Money in the best free market sense, that it is absolutely refreshing to go to the art galleries and to see things that have limited commercial value and that are hardly ever seen under the strictures of corporate America sponsorship. This exhibition of Soviet film posters is a good example of what I mean. I suppose that in a more liberal era we might once have seen these at MOMA, but certainly not in this current climate so rigidly proscribed by lock step Reagan Republicanism. So much for the GOP claim that it is the one true and only path to freedom of expression. Art Ongoing
