Mayakovsky, also known as Vladimir Mayakovsky, was a prominent Russian poet and artist during the early 20th century. His works were often politically charged and reflected his strong beliefs in communism and social change. Mayakovsky's artistic talent extended beyond poetry as he also created satirical posters that criticized institutions like the League of Nations. In one photograph titled "Mayakovsky (H/S), " we see him captured in a half-seated position, perhaps deep in thought or contemplating his next creative endeavor.

One notable artwork by Mayakovsky is "Join the red forces to get a better life" from 1921. This piece urges people to unite under communist ideals for a brighter future. The artist himself can be seen on another photograph titled "Pasternak, Mayakovsky, Eisenstein and others, " where he stands alongside fellow intellectuals in Moscow. A satirical poster on the League of Nations showcases Mayakovksy's ability to use art as a tool for political commentary. Through this work, he criticizes the organization's effectiveness or lack thereof.
