Road to Exile 1957 - 1961

"Road to Exile," a lithograph created between 1957 and 1961 by Soviet artist Anatoli Kaplan, portrays a somber procession of figures moving through a snow-covered forest. The stark black and white tones and the indistinct figures create a sense of isolation and uncertainty. The artist’s use of thick, gestural lines enhances the feeling of harshness and suggests a sense of urgency in the movement of the figures. Kaplan's work is characterized by its raw honesty and its ability to evoke powerful emotions, making this piece a poignant commentary on the human condition.
