Russian Constructivism 14
"Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge." Designed by El Lissitzky 1919.
Lissitzky hated working with the limitations of hot type and old fashioned letterpress printing and predicted (correctly) that letterpress would be replaced by photomechanical processes. He used drafting tools to draw many of his images including type. Pasteup was another part of his work. If you have ever designed publications of any kind for mass production to be printed letterpress, you know his frustration. The printer has control over the design as well as the actual printing. (Some people are nostalgic over wood cook stoves too.)
My slides are quietly disintigrating and changing color, at least the ones that are not Kodachrome. I really struggled with this one and it's still weak.
