Socialist Realism

Socialist Realism is an art style that began in the mid 1800's in Russia. Revolutionists wanted to turn people to their cause, and needed a way to convey their ideals in an appealing manner. Socialist Realism artwork and architecture emphasizes the struggles of the working man and often uses tools as symbolism to represent their struggle.
