Artwork description

 The interesting work is a linocut in colours by the Jewish Russian artist Yosef Kuzkovski.
The Linocut is printed in two colours and has addition in ink and pencil in the lettering in the upper part.
It is also hand signed and dated by the artist in the lower right margin.
The hand written text reads in Yiddish: "מיר וועלן לעבן" (We shall live)
It was realised in 1965 and is probably a preparatory proof for a poster.
The work is stamoed verso with a Soviet stamp.
Another impression of this linocut can be found in the artist's estate, now part of the Maria and Michael Zetlin Museum of Russian Art, Ramat Gan.
