Works of Russian and Soviet Painting in the Gemäldegalerie "Neue Meister" The 20th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic and the associated days of Soviet culture in October and November of this year provide the occasion for the publication of a series of stamps with Russian and Soviet paintings. The issue of German-Soviet friendship, which is decisive for the socialist development of our republic, is again documented by this issue, especially since the reproduced paintings are exclusively those that have found a final home in the GDR. The Dresden Gemäldegalerie is the first art museum in the world of the USSR, in which Soviet art is systematically collected and presented to visitors. With this project, the Gemäldegalerie "Neue Meister" continues to be a nursing home of the most progressive international art. The great complexes of Italian, Dutch French and Spanish art are now joined by the art of the Soviet Union and the socialist brother countries, following the general development of society. 20 Pfennig value: Eranui Arschakowna Aslamasjan, b. 1907 "still life" 1967 96 x 110 cm, oil 01 / Lw.
