In the poster of 1942," Every frontier is decisive! the artist finds a clear and clear poster form that allows us to consider this poster a classic of Soviet poster art. Questions of artistic expressiveness play an important role here. Only with the help of a perfect plastic language did the artist manage to express the main idea � the indestructible strength of the Soviet people, their will to win, and the consciousness of their rightness. Confidently bringing the central figure of the poster closer to the viewer, sharply emphasizing and enlarging the features of the face, clearly highlighting the silhouette, V. Ivanov achieved that all attention is focused on the face and on the eyes of the hero, capturing the viewer with their strong-willed tension, harsh determination. A straight look, tightly compressed lips, a sharp line of the mouth and chin, revealing will and inflexibility, skillful large hands, confidently holding a machine gun or grenade – this is the characteristic of a fighter, repeated with minor changes in most of V. Ivanov’s posters of 1942.
