Marilyn Monroe and the Russian Bear
A dynamic screenprint by Soviet-born artist Leonid Sokov brings together two iconic symbols of East and West — the legendary Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe and the Russian Bear, a longstanding emblem of Soviet power. Using string and mixed media on card, Sokov creates a layered visual dialogue that playfully yet pointedly explores the cultural and political tensions of the Cold War era. The work reflects the artist's signature style of combining Pop Art sensibilities with the visual language of his Russian heritage.
