Description
Simbari Sovietska, 1979, by Peter Gumaer Ogden, 1957-, American. Pen and ink and colored pen on paper. This bold graphic imagery represents the nuclear arms race between America and the Soviet Union and impending threat of nuclear war which was very much front page news in the 1970s. The dragon represents the beast of war. The nude male represents the macho, muscular military power of Russia. The dragon wears a conical hat which alludes to the onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow topped with a red communist star. The Fine Art America logo does not appear in the final product.
