In 1941-45 Soviet art came even closer to life: there was a great immediacy in the reaction to news from the fronts, and war-correspondents’ reports. Political posters and cartoons became the order of the day, and painters and sculptors turned to war themes. New names appeared on the scene, among the painters, Zardaryan, Isabekyan and Yesayan, and sculptors, Nikogosyan and Chubaryan. Many others working there were later, in the fifties, found to be very gifted and versatile artists.
