Two Ivans and Oksana

by: Batsheva Ettinger, Daniella Jakubowitz, Yocheved Gourarie


In our analysis, we discussed the composition of our chosen painting, how Viola Pushkarova drew his viewers into a narrative, as well as the painting’s context in Communist Russia. Pushkarova’s process and attention to detail evoked both feelings of pity and happiness as we internalized his intent and perspective. We neglected to discuss symbolism and, given more time, might research daily life in Communist Russia as well as symbols that Pushkarova may have incorporated in his work.
