[Viktor Borisovich Koretsky (1909-1998) - Soviet graphic artist.
During the Great Patriotic War, he created more than 40 posters. They are distinguished by the sharpness of the constructions, the emotional intensity of the transfer of the drama of the experiences of the Soviet people. Since 1956, he worked in the Agitplakat association.
V. B. Koretsky is the author of the first Soviet postage stamp dedicated to the Great Patriotic War " Be a hero!", which was issued on August 12, 1941. It was the artist's first and last postal miniature. Two more of his works became the subjects of postage stamps: the emblem of the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR developed by him is depicted on one of the stamps of the 1956 series issued for the Spartakiad, and the poster of 1940 belonging to his pen "Meeting of the Red Army with the population of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus" is represented on one of the stamps of the 1968 series issued in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Armed Forces of the USSR.
Pyotr Petrovich Konchalovsky (9 [21] February 1876, Slavyansk, Russian Empire — 2 February 1956, Moscow, USSR) was a Russian and Soviet painter.
In painting, he was a Cezannist and generally felt a strong attraction to Europe, spoke excellent French. He was also influenced by his father-in-law, V. I. Surikov, with whom he first went to study in Spain, and later they worked throughout Europe. In the early period, the artist sought to express the festive color characteristic of Russian folk art, using the constructiveness of the color of Paul Cezanne. He became known for his still lifes, often executed in a style close to analytical cubism and Fauvism.
The artist left a great graphic legacy.]
