Yevgeny Rachyov exhibition in Moscow

If you’ve followed me for more than a month you will recognize the style of Yevgeny Rachyov’s illustration. I know I post him a lot, but I do love his works. There’s an exhibition going in Moscow right now that has numerous of his original works–illustration as well as wooden sculpture (those have not been exhibited at all since the 1960s). All of those come from the artist’s family archive.

The exhibition is only open until November 20, so if you’re in Moscow I encourage you to go (and send me pictures and reports). I wish I could go!!! :(

Exhibition “Animals of Yevgeny Rachyov”
Location: Otkryty Klub Gallery, Spiridonovka 9/2, Moscow
Open 4 pm to 10 pm daily except Wednesday

Soviet everyday life design. Pictures from Soviet Design Red Wealth (x) exhibition in Brussels, taken by my reader Ben.

Avoska (string bag) was not the only type of see-through bag popular in the USSR! Also, check out the egg carrier.

We have this place in my town where a few local enthusiasts keep their collection of vintage cars, motorcycles, bicycles and other stuff. It’s open for all and I like going there sometimes. I’m not too much into cars and the like, but I’m proud of the guys! It’s a cool place.

#tbt When I had my postcard collection exhibited in 2013

It was fun and I loved the feedback, but putting it up and then down was more work than I imagined!

“Soviet Childhood” exhibition in Moscow in January 2015. Love those tins and party invitations from the 1950s - they’re quite hard to find today.

“Music on the Bone” (музыка на костях) was one of the many ways the man fought the system. While a lot of music (especially Western music) was banned in the Soviet Union, bootleggers made illegal records using x-ray film.

These pictures are from the exhibition I visited in St Petersburg. I loved the recreated bootlegger’s room!

Also from Nizhny Novgorod - if you visit, there’s a small museum on Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street running a Soviet toys exhibition. They’re got quite a few awesome toys from the 1950s and earlier.

So much fun for a vintage dork like me! :)

Another of my favourite themes on postcards - school and pioneers. I dig the image of the perfect youngster shown on postcards. Utopia with a 50s feel. Also those sepia postcards from the 30s - very interesting specimen from the transitional time from Russian Empire to Soviet Russia. Their haircuts still look like roaring 20s.

By the way, feel free to contact me if you’re interested in any of these postcards for your collection. I’ll explore and come back with a quote.

A whole section was dedicated to the space theme in postcards. It’s one of my favourite themes, so I was excited to examine every display board! Many of these are quite rare and great collectible items. Ahh the envy xD

Reporting from the children’s postcard exhibition in Moscow! These are simple phone shots, but you can get the idea. There are all sorts of postcards there; holidays, illustration, fairy tales, educational etc. About half of the exhibition are Russian Empire postcards (pre-Soviet Union). I don’t know much about them, but I was impressed at the number and diversity.

For Soviet postcards, I was mostly “Oh I have this one”, but also there were a number of rare postcards which I only yet hope to find for my collection.
