Кукрыниксы

Kukryniksy

Creative team of Soviet graphic artists and painters Kupriyanov Mikhail Vasilievich (b. 1930), Krylov Porfiry Nikitich (b. 1902), Sokolov Nikolai Alexandrovich (b. 1903). Studied at VKHUTEMAS / VKHUTEIN (between 1921-1929). They worked together since 1924. They created a new type of cartoons, marked by acute topicality, published in newspapers and magazines (Pravda, Crocodile, etc.). Their posters and “TASS Windows,” created during the Great Patriotic War, were extremely popular. In 1942, the Kukryniksy were awarded the USSR State Prize and the Lenin Prize (1965) for political cartoons and posters. We worked a lot in the field of book illustration. Their works are kept in the State Tretyakov Gallery, regional museums, as well as in many private collections in Russia and abroad.
