Part 2... In 1970 the former USSR was preparing to celebrate in a years time the 100-year anniversary of Vladimir Lenin. Anatoly Krynsky also wished to commemorate this momentous time by creating the Clownade Series. Ten black and white engravings were made to show the colorless and drab life of the Soviet Citizen. Krynsky found the lives of the classic clowns intriguing with their reprises and subtexts found in their humor. Krynsky's artwork captures the polarity of soviet life with the use of black and white tones, representing the conforming citizen or revolutionary prisoner.
