This painting shows a patriotic poster against the Germans. It's from 1914, a time of war in Europe. The artist used simple, bold images to get their point across. The use of folk art styles, like "lubki" woodcuts, is interesting here - it was a way for artists to connect with ordinary people. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Malevich, Kazimir (1878-1935).
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (23 February 1879 – 15 May 1935) was a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, whose work and writings pioneered the development of abstract painting in the 20th century.
