Nuremberg 1945

"Nuremberg" is a 1945 caricature by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy, created in the aftermath of the Nuremberg Trials. The satirical drawing portrays the defendants at the trials, emphasizing their exaggerated features and expressions. The work served as a potent symbol of the Soviet Union's condemnation of Nazi war crimes, highlighting the collective's commitment to social commentary and political satire. The stark black-and-white composition and gestural lines add to the caricature's effectiveness. The signature "Kukryniksy" is visible at the bottom left of the artwork.
