A propaganda poster by El Lissitzky from 1919, 'Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge' uses geometric shapes and bold colours to depict the Bolsheviks' victory in the Russian Civil War. This lithograph exemplifies Suprematism and Lissitzky's commitment to art as a tool for social change.
This lithograph by El Lissitzky, created in 1919, is a striking example of Suprematism, a Russian abstract art movement. Lissitzky, born Lazar Markovich Lissitzky, was a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist, and architect. He was an important figure of the Russian avant-garde, helping develop Suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and designing numerous exhibition displays and propaganda works for the Soviet Union. 'Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge' is a propaganda poster that uses geometric shapes to convey a political message. A red wedge pierces a white circle, symbolising the Bolsheviks defeating their opponents in the Russian Civil War. The composition is simple yet dynamic, with the bold colours and sharp angles creating a sense of urgency and conflict. The text in Russian reinforces the message, calling for the defeat of the 'Whites'. The work exemplifies Lissitzky's use of art as a tool for social and political change.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
