The art for this story by Ned Bustard is inspired by—and lifts elements directly from—Soviet posters of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Two of the most famous artists to produce these posters, that so visually represent the U.S.S.R., are the Stenberg brothers.
Vladimir and Georgii Stenberg were prominent members of a group in Russia of artist-engineers who were attracted to the
functional arts by political ideology. They rejected fine arts as
useless in a new Communist society. Instead they preferred “art for use” in the service of the state. Advertising was now the highest good for the new society. The Stenberg brothers produced a large body of work in many mediums, initially achieving fame as Constructivist sculptors. Yet their most significant accomplishments were in the field of graphic design, specifically, the posters they created for the new cinema. These works were revolutionary with respect to the history of design. The Stenberg’s numerous innovations—rethinking of the content, the introduction of implied movement, the use of bold typography and color, the distortion of scale and perspective—were all later investigated and built on by other designers and movements.
As for the story, any likeness to any fictional characters with whom you may be familiar is not necessarily coincidental.
