The Dead Soldier statue (The Grosvenor Gallery documents indicate another name - "Fallen Warrior") is the work that made Neizvestny (the Unknown in russian) famous. The statue was created in 1957. An almost shapeless figure with a decayed face, a huge hole in the chest and an outstretched hand clenched into a fist - a symbol expressing struggle and movement forward to victory: the artist’s creations were so bold and uncompromising that the authorities banned the exhibition of his work.
