EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of irony and anti-Bolshevik sentiment through a caricature of the death of Felix Dzherzhinsky, the founder and director of CHEKA. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 20th century, this colour lithograph is housed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image portrays Dzherzhinsky as Goldherz (heart of gold), a sarcastic reference to his role as a prominent figure within Bolshevism. In front row stands Leon Trotsky, adding another layer to the satire depicted in this artwork. The joyous intellectuals are symbolized as columns of dead people, highlighting their disillusionment with Bolshevik ideals. With its clever use of symbolism and visual storytelling, this print serves as a powerful critique against Bolshevism and its leaders. It showcases how art can be used to convey political messages while also reflecting on historical events. As part of eArchives Charmet's collection, this German artwork has transcended time and remains relevant today for those interested in exploring anti-Bolshevik sentiments or studying early 20th-century political cartoons. This particular piece is out-of-copyright but should not be used for commercial purposes without proper authorization from Bridgeman Images. Overall, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into history through artistic expression that challenges prevailing ideologies.
