Socialist Realism art is itself a tricky term: Socialist? Sure it is!.. Realist? Not really (It's hard to believe that propaganda is actually realistic).. Art? Well, that's questionable...
Aesthetically, Socialist Realism paintings are not so great, they are poorly remarkable to my eye, and no one can ignore the fact that they are highly propaganda mediums of portraying a perfect, happy and fairy tale-like Socialist life that it's just not true. It is sad how skillful artists had to commit their work to this pseudo style of art that doesn't allow them to actually express themselves nor the REAL reality they and the rest of the world was living in those days.
