Biographical Information

The Kukryniksy was the name taken on by artists Porfirii Nikitich Krylov (1902-1990), Mikhail Vasil'evich Kupriianov (1903-1991), and Nikolai Aleksandrovich Sokolov (1903-2000) during their long career of collaboration.

Scope and Content

12 posters showing examples of the work of Kukryniksy. The posters are in a cover that is dated 1977, but undated individual posters were probably created in the early 1970s and prior to that.
