Russian Anti-Austrian War Propaganda, 1914–15

A peasant woman dressed in red, appears like a giantess in comparison to the terrified Austrians coming over the hill. She is merry, healthy color in her face, and a soldier scewered on her pitchfork.

“An Austrian went to Radziwill and came right on to a peasant woman’s pitchfork,” Russian print by Kazimir Severinovich Malevich, 1914–15, New York Public Library Digital Collections. The library has digitized five more prints in this series.
