EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a poster created by Aleksey Gan for an exhibition of Vladimir Mayakovskys works in 1931. The renowned poet, Mayakovsky, was an influential figure during the early Soviet era and is known for his Communist Futurism style. However, as the Soviet Union took a different path under Stalin's leadership, Mayakovsky grew increasingly disillusioned and tragically ended his own life on April 14th, 1930. The poster itself is a testament to Gan's graphic design skills and captures the essence of Mayakovsky's literary legacy. With vibrant colors and bold typography in Cyrillic script, it exudes energy and creativity. Standing against a backdrop of text that represents Mayakovsky's poetry, the portrait of the poet stares intensely into the distance. This image not only pays homage to two significant figures in Russian history but also serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between art and politics. It symbolizes both admiration for Mayakovsky's talent and sorrow over his untimely demise. Preserved within the State Central Literary Museum in Moscow, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into Russia's rich artistic heritage from the early 20th century. It stands as a testament to Mayakovsky's enduring influence on literature while showcasing Gan's skillful craftsmanship as an artist.
