USSR gymnasts 1961

"USSR Gymnasts" (1961), by Dmitri Zhilinsky, portrays a group of male gymnasts in various poses, highlighting their athleticism and discipline. The artist's characteristically precise and realistic style gives the figures a sense of dynamism against the stark red background. This painting captures the spirit of Soviet athleticism and was likely intended to promote physical prowess and national pride. The painting is currently housed in the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
