Rubbers of Rezinotrest (1924) by Alexander Rodchenko

‘Rubbers of Rezinotrest’ is a poster created by Alexander Rodchenko in 1924, a significant piece belonging to the Constructivism art movement. The artwork prominently features a bold, graphic design that typifies the Constructivist style, characterized by its emphasis on functional and utilitarian art meant to serve a social purpose.

The artwork displays the silhouette of a camel, centrally positioned against a vibrant orange background. Atop the camel’s back is a black shoe, symbolically juxtaposed to convey a message, possibly related to commerce or trade. The text overlaying the visual elements appears in what might be various scripts, accentuating the international or inclusive nature of the message. A triangular emblem in the top right corner contains further textual and possibly symbolic content, contributing to the overall composition’s dynamic and structured aesthetic. The combination of colors, shapes, and typographic elements results in a striking and memorable visual statement.
