Untitled 1944

Created in 1944 by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy, “Untitled” depicts a caricature of Adolf Hitler in a tattered uniform, standing behind a table with a document and his hat. The artwork was likely created as a propaganda piece during World War II, reflecting the Soviet perspective of Hitler as a defeated and pathetic figure. The artist’s satirical style and the visual metaphors used are indicative of the Soviet Union’s wartime political cartoons.
