Social Realism Art Oil Paintings For Sale: Hammer and Sickle

Oil paintings of social realism are one of those genres that encourage peasants and workers to align themselves with the socialist system of the new state. Paintings of this genre should not only educate people about the spirit of socialism but also encourage them to be patriotic for the good of the country. Even though the paintings of this genre are of a rather narrow focus, they have a coherent character. All the plots are based on the principle, that workers and peasants are one cog of the state.

Socialist realism in oils applies to both landscapes and portraits. The main features that can be easily distinguished from other genres are nationality, ideology, and specificity of the historical era. There is no abstraction among social realism, only the socialist idea and the process of historical development. From this it may seem that the genre itself is boring. But this is not at all true - paintings depicting a given era of socialist life have the same unforgettable heritage in painting as Dutch still lifes.

Although landscapes are not the main form of social realism, they usually go hand in hand with depicting them as a background in front of leaders or people. In this area, industrial landscapes are most common - showing the industry of the time. From the work process of engineers and workers in a factory to the industries themselves in urban areas. As they used to say in those days, "There is smoke and there is kindling," which means as long as the factories work and the state works.

The main highlight of social realism oil paintings are portraits of historical figures such as Lenin or Stalin. Portraits were drawn with such detail and with such elegance, where every emotion on the face reflected the importance of the actions of these people. Look at how Lenin is drawn in his office - all words will immediately disappear here, only admiration for buying such a painting.
