Description
The study of the work "Illustration of 'For La Voz' by Vladimir Mayakovsky - 1920" of El Lissitzky enters us in the heart of Russian constructivism and the close collaboration between two giants of the Soviet avant -garde: the Lissitzky, the master of graphic and typographic representation, and Vladimir Mayakovsky, the poet committed to revolution and linguistic innovation.
The piece, an illustration aimed at accompanying the collection of poems "for La Voz" by Mayakovsky, is an emblematic example of the visual language of El Lissitzky. Instead of leaning for traditional figurative representation, Lissitzky opts for an abstract composition, rich in geometric symbolism and radical typography. The illustration is characterized by a predominantly horizontal and vertical structure, with a clear inclination towards basic geometric shapes: rectangles, lines and circles.
The use of color is austere but effective. Black, white and red predominate, a palette that not only resonates with the aesthetics of constructivism, but also aligns with the revolutionary ideals of the time. These colors, used with almost mathematical precision, serve to highlight and contrast specific elements of the composition, leading the viewer's look to the intersections of lines and shapes that seem to vibrate with the same dynamic energy as Mayakovsky's verse.
As for the presence of characters, the absence of human figures in the Enlightenment is remarkable. Instead, the Lissitzky uses visual elements to conjure a feeling of movement and strength, a visual echo of the evocative power of the written word of Mayakovsky. The interaction between geometric shapes and letters creates a visual symphony that seems to press with the same cadence as poems.
An emblematic and distinctive aspect of this work is the integration of typography as a fundamental compositional element. The letters are not mere words of words; They become dynamic visual forms that interact with the other elements of the composition. The typography is stripped of its purely communicative function to become an aesthetic and semantic tool that amplifies the impact of Mayakovsky's text.
The Lissitzky was not only an innovative in the world of graphic art, but also a theorist committed to the cultural revolution. The "Illustration for the Voice '" is part of its series of collaborations with other creators of the Soviet avant -garde, such as their work in the publication "Veshch/Gegentende/Objet", and demonstrates its ability to translate abstract concepts in a visuality almost palpable.
In summary, "Illustration of 'For La Voz' by Vladimir Mayakovsky - 1920" of El Lissitzky is not simply a work of art; It is a powerful declaration of artistic and political principles. Through its bold use of geometry, color and typography, Lissitzky not only illustrates the poet's voice, but also amplifies it, creating a synergy between the verse and the line that resonates with the revolutionary spirit of its era. This work is not only seen, but it feels; A testimony of the art capacity to transcend its limits and become a transformative force.
