EDITORS COMMENTS
Beat the Whites with the red wedge (Poster), 1920. Artist: Lissitzky, El (1890-1941) This powerful and iconic poster, created by El Lissitzky in 1920, captures the spirit of revolution and resistance during a tumultuous period in Russian history. Titled 'Beat the Whites with the red wedge, ' this artwork serves as both an allegory and a call to action. The image features a bold red wedge piercing through a sea of white, symbolizing the proletariat's struggle against their oppressors. It represents not only the physical conflict between opposing forces but also embodies hope for change and victory. During this time, Russia was torn apart by civil war and political unrest following the October Revolution. The poster reflects Lissitzky's involvement in socialist realism, using art as a tool for political agitation and propaganda. Through its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, this color lithograph aims to evoke anxiety among those who oppose revolutionary ideals while inspiring unity among workers and peasants. It stands as a testament to Lissitzky's avant-garde style that merged fine art with graphic design to convey powerful messages. Now housed in the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this print continues to serve as a reminder of Russia's turbulent past and its enduring legacy of revolution.
