The artwork titled “Illustration to ‘For the voice’ by Vladimir Mayakovsky” was created by El Lissitzky in 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation. It is part of the Constructivism art movement and belongs to the illustration genre. This piece is a part of the series “For the voice” and exemplifies the distinctive characteristics of the movement in terms of visual composition and typographic innovation.
In the artwork, bold typography and geometric shapes dominate the design aesthetics. The use of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks in a vivid, contrasting manner showcases the Constructivist emphasis on utilitarian and abstract forms. The text and imagery are arranged to create a dynamic visual experience, highlighting a modernist approach to literary illustration. The incorporation of red and black hues further accentuates the striking and avant-garde style, making the design both functional and visually captivating.
