I have never seen this Kozik, and like culture and the Dino Jr. Poster wit the square jawed German lady, I love this derivative of the German/Russian propoganda poster. This one has an even more subtle and complex emotion. It probably wouldn't have worked well for a propaganda poster because it is contemplative art. The emotion is not obvious as it is in propaganda posters. That is the emotion of the character and the emotion that is to be felt by the viewer. In this poster you can ask yourself: what exactly is this armed man doing. Is he pulling the tree, caressing the tree (why?) or is he planting the tree (he doesn't allow us to see a mound of dirt which might tell us this. But, why would a soldier be planting a tree in front of a factory, and damn he has some big ass boots. I want this poster, but I have never seen it for sale...as I said I have never seen it. Kozik is at his best here.
