User Text 1 The Chazen‘s Soviet socialist realist paintings were collected by then ambassador to the Soviet Union Joseph E. Davies in the mid-1930s and donated to the University of Wisconsin in 1937. Ionin, attracted by the philosophy of the first Five Year Plan, painted on location such works as The Cable Factory. He used constructive arrangement of planes to express the notion of mechanical function and harmony.
