Image Response #6 - Ch. 15 - "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge"

El Lissitzky created this poster in 1919 it depicts the Bolshevik army (the red wedge) cutting into the white circle that represents the "white" forces.

I like this piece because of the clarity of the meaning, the colors are stereotypical of the constructivists movement... I have to admit I'm partial to black, red, and white.

Overall this piece just depicts an incredible force and movement.
