The artwork titled “Cover to ‘For the voice’ by Vladimir Mayakovsky,” created by El Lissitzky in 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation, is a compelling example of the Constructivism movement. This design piece, part of the “For the voice” series, embodies the artistic ethos characteristic of its time and movement.
The artwork features a bold, graphic design on a vibrant orange background. Dominant elements include stylized text in black and red, integrated into geometric shapes, typical of Constructivist aesthetics. The title and the name of Mayakovsky are prominently displayed in Russian, using varying font sizes and orientations to create visual interest and dynamic composition. A large, red circle outlined in black further enhances the striking visual appeal. The overall design is minimalist yet powerful, reflecting the Constructivist emphasis on functionality and abstraction.
