"V. I. Lenin", P. Staronosov, USSR 1935 -- Images of Lenin #33
From the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 1979:
Staronosov, Petr Nikolaevich
Born Jan. 6 (18), 1893, in Moscow; died there Nov. 18,1942. Soviet graphic artist.
Staronosov was basically a self-taught artist. He contributed to the magazines Smena (Young Generation), Znanie—sila (Knowledge Is Power), Pioner (Pioneer), Krasnaia niva (Red Cornfield), and Vokrug sveta (Around the World). His work, which consists mainly of small engravings and illustrations executed using the techniques of wood engraving and linecut, is characterized by a highly emotional perception of the world, an intricate many-planed composition, and an overall decorativeness.
Staronosov’s works include the series The Pamirs (1932; colored pencil, watercolor, and gouache), and illustrations to O. Gur’ian’s The Golden Tail (1930) and P. M. Kerzhentsev’s The Life of Lenin (1936).
