The artwork depicted in the image is the cover of the book “About That,” designed by Alexander Rodchenko in 1923. Created in Moscow, Russian Federation, the book cover serves as a poster, showcasing Rodchenko’s graphic design skills and the visual style of the times.
The cover features large Cyrillic text across the top and bottom sections, clearly indicating the title of the book and the author’s name. A black and white photograph dominates the composition, capturing the intense gaze of a woman staring directly at the viewer. The use of bold lettering and the stark, high-contrast portrait exemplifies the constructivist approach to design and typographical layout, which was prevalent in Russia during the early 20th century, especially in the sphere of Soviet propaganda and avant-garde art movements. The design conveys a sense of urgency and modernism, drawing the viewer’s attention to both the textual and visual elements on the cover.
