Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge, 1920
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful political statement captured in this print by Lazar Markovich Lissitzky. The artwork, created during a tumultuous time in Russia's history, showcases the artist's mastery of color and symbolism. In this poster, Lissitzky employs bold shades of red to represent communism and its fight against the White Army during the Russian Civil War. The central image features a geometric red wedge piercing through a circle, symbolizing an unstoppable force breaking through barriers. This visual metaphor represents the Soviet Union's determination to overcome any opposition standing in their path. The use of arrows within the composition suggests an invasion or attack strategy employed by the communist forces. It serves as a reminder that war was not only fought on battlefields but also waged through propaganda and media manipulation. Lissitzky's artistry lies not only in his technical skills but also in his ability to convey complex political ideas through graphic design. By combining elements of geometry and abstraction, he creates a visually striking piece that captures attention and sparks contemplation about power dynamics within society. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a historical artifact from early 20th-century Russia. It encapsulates both the spirit of revolution and the fervent belief in communism that defined this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded of its enduring significance as both an expression of ideology and an example of exceptional artistic talent.
