The Soviet pin-up

Pin-up (from English to pin up-pin) is an image of a mostly semi-naked beautiful girl in a certain style. In Russian, the concept of pin-up came from American culture of the mid-20th century and spread in a unique form of a combination of propaganda posters of the Soviet era and the depiction of beautiful girls.

Valery Barykin is the most famous Russian illustrator of pin-up in the Soviet style . It was Valery who was able to masterfully combine the boring social slogans of the 50-60s of the last century and stunning beauties with seductive forms in posters. If you recall the widespread opinion that "there was no sex in the USSR," it is these creatures of the author that create a new, unlike the rest, art. Valery Barykin with all his strength refutes this judgment, conveying the sexuality and enthusiasm of Russian beauties through their work.

Pictures in the style of the Soviet pin-up are rather perceived with humor, because they still remember the strict framework of behavior in society, at workplaces where it was indecent to display one's identity and to differ from others.

At present, it has become very popular to acquire "things from the past", everything that is somehow connected with the era of the great USSR. Posters of Valery Barykin in the style of the Soviet pin-up are in great demand, they perfectly illustrate the culture of Soviet times and quench the thirst for nostalgia for the Soviet Union, who have one. These original masterpieces can be harmoniously entered into the interior of the kitchen, which will create an unusual atmosphere, as well as decorate them with modern cafes created in the style of Soviet buffets.

Inspired by the Soviet pin-up and you, suddenly your imagination will make up a worthy competition to contemporary artists.
