To a New Life

Morris Topchevsky (1899-1947)

In this scene, Topchevsky shows a man grasping a hammer, a common Soviet symbol, and a blueprint for “new life.” The man and woman are leaving behind the persona of the “Old Jew,” pictured in a haze behind them. Topchevsky was the most radical participant in this project, stating that he hoped his work would help “liberate the working masses of the entire world.”
