Nuremberg. Advocates. 1945

"Nuremberg. Advocates." is a 1945 satirical caricature by the Soviet artist group Kukryniksy. This pen-and-ink drawing depicts the defense lawyers at the Nuremberg Trials. The exaggerated features and poses of the subjects are typical of the group's style, which combined realism with caricature to create a powerful and often humorous critique of political and social figures. The work is a commentary on the role of lawyers in the trials, suggesting that their efforts were in vain, and highlighting the absurdity of the situation. The image is a powerful and provocative reminder of the legacy of the Nuremberg Trials and the importance of accountability for war crimes.
