The Collection
Tibor Zala, Lenin, 1972

Hungary
Artwork

In this silkscreen print, three adjoining portraits of the communist leader Vladimir Lenin wearing a worker’s cap are presented horizontally. Through the mechanical process of Ben-Day dots, Tibor Zala depicts the same image of Lenin, using different colors for each depiction, in a style that departed from the dominant realism. Influenced by the pop art style of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Zala’s portrait is exemplary of the relative cultural permeability of the Iron Curtain.
