Gellert aligned himself with the Communist Party in the 1920s and engaged radical politics throughout his career. He favored printmaking, illustration, and murals for their accessibility to the masses, creating works that center on the tenets of Marxism and celebrate the labor class. Miracle Makers, which shows two workers in profile, is included in the book Comrade Gulliver: An Illustrated Account of Travel Into That Strange Country, the United States of America, a fictional story of a Soviet man’s travels through the United States during the Great Depression.
