Original artwork description:
The mid-1960s, somewhere in Soviet Siberia; a nursery worker tries to shepherd her flock of children down a hillside. They have been making hats out of old copies of the communist party's official newspaper and mouthpiece, Pravda. Quite happily, they re-purpose The Truth (which is the translation of 'pravda'). The only other official Soviet newspaper was called Izvestia, which means 'news', and the cynical Russian joke was that there was no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia.
Materials used:
Highest quality artists' oil paint on cotton canvas.
