Plate "The Mind Cannot Tolerate Captivity"

Soviet propaganda porcelain. The work shows an excellent sense of material and graphic artist talent of the artistic director of the State Porcelain Factory Sergey Chekhonin (Сергей Чехонин, 1878–1936) – the black letters together with the small flowers on the border form a light, playful ornament, but the white centre part is an integral element of the overall composition.
