This lithograph exemplifies Suprematism and Lissitzky's commitment to art as a tool for social change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bermuda-in-oleander-time-adolph-treidler-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBermuda in Oleander Time - Adolph Treidler — Adolph Treidler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Lissitzky","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679151563087,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679153561935,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679153594703,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679153627471,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679153660239,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Beat-the-Whites-with-the-Red-Wedge_Poster_CompositorV1_1778636765941.jpg?v=1778639051","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/beat-the-whites-with-the-red-wedge-el-lissitzky-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
