Meet the Winners, 1945. A master of Soviet photography and colleague of leading painter Alexander Rodchenko and pioneering filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, George Petrusov captured the elation of the crowd at the end of the second world war. Rodchenko said of Petrusov: ‘He’s like a sponge that absorbs everything about photography’. (Photo by George Petrusov/Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography)
