Catalogue Note
The Songs of Russia series of paintings is based on stills from Hollywood films about Russia made in 1943-1944 at the behest of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in order to garner more support for the Soviet Union during WWII, and to change the opinion of the American public towards the USSR.
