"Windows on the War" is a groundbreaking publication - the first in English to focus on posters designed by the Soviet Union's 'TASS' news agency to bolster support for the Soviet war effort. 'TASS' posters were created by a large collective of Soviet writers, printers and artists, including such notables as Mikhail Cheremnykh, Nikolai Denisovskii, the Kukryniksy and Pavel Sokolov-Skalia. Often six feet tall and always striking and bold, these stenciled posters were printed and placed daily in windows for the public to see. They were also sent abroad to serve as international cultural 'ambassadors', rallying Allied and neutral nations to the Soviet cause. Drawn from the Art Institute of Chicago's collection as well as other private and public holdings, these 'TASS' posters have not been seen since World War II.
