A Journey Round the World (1918/1920) by Solomon NikritinCFC Big Ideas in association with the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy
The picture is painted on an almost square wooden board with oil paints. Approximately in the center, on an orange-ochre background, two figures are depicted in full height.
The figures "travel" on a small, completely disproportionate car, the movement from left to right can be easily read. The fact that the couple seems to be squatting on top of the car creates a grotesque impression.
A man with a long dark beard and mustache embraces a woman with his right hand, and with his left holds a blue globe with a red flag at the top, symbolizing the victory of the revolution.
Between the title of the work, the sphere of the globe, and the rounded horizon line, you can see something in common – the motif of a circle, a sphere.
