The Workers and Farmers Russian Art Exhibit took place in Japan in 1927 and was organized by the Japan Proletarian Art League. It featured Russian artworks, mainly posters, that reflected the strong political influence of the time. The designs used bold text, striking colors, and themes inspired by socialist realism, a style that grew out of Soviet and European political movements like communism. This exhibition became part of a larger artistic shift in Japan during the late 1920s and 1930s, as artists began to focus more on social issues, labor, and the lives of ordinary people.
