Knowledge for everyone! 1972

Created in 1972 by artists V. Karakashev and L. Levshunova, this poster presents a bold, symbolic composition celebrating education. Three stylized faces of different colors lean toward an open book that radiates like a rising sun, suggesting enlightenment and equal access to learning. Below, three hands of matching colors reach upward, reinforcing the theme of unity and shared purpose. The bright red background and strong geometric forms give the design a striking, modern look. At the bottom, the slogan reads “Knowledge for everyone!” («Знания всем!»). The image emphasizes education as a universal right and a force that unites people across cultures.
