Military Therapy Troops is a 2002 by Olga Florenskaya, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is part of Olga Florenskaya’s 2002 series called "Russian Trophy." It’s a print, not a painting, and it comes from a bigger project that mixed up real and fake military objects. The series pokes fun at old Russian ideas about enemies and safety. It uses silly flags to stand in for countries like Britain, France, and Japan. Check out another print from the same series by searching Florenskaya, Olga.
A rectangular print in landscape format shows a four-clasped-hands motif and a red cross and crescent on a brown ground, with text in Russian and English above, within, and below the design; it is numbered, signed, and dated in pencil at the lower right and bears the blind stamp of the Hand Print Workshop at the same corner.
