Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge (1919)
El Lissitzky | Abstract Art | Lithograph
A bold red wedge slices into a white circle. This powerful poster uses simple shapes to tell a dramatic story!
Did you know? This poster comes from the Russian Civil War, fought between the "Reds" and the "Whites." The sharp red wedge stands for the Bolsheviks, the Reds, smashing into the white circle of their enemies. Lissitzky told a whole war story with a triangle, a circle and a few words!
