BEAUTY – is a reflection on the unconscious consumption by Andrey Kasay. There were two essences which inspired this series of works.
On the one hand – it?s US advertising posters of the 1950s and people on them with the unnatural smiles, consuming everything from the drinks to the weapons, on the other hand – the strongest USSR graphic era – the Russian avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s.
Mixing these two traditions the author sneers at consumption as the meaning of life.
