Biography

​​Vladimir Mayakovsky, Russian Empire, 1911.

1920: Posters

Mayakovsky greatly appreciated Dmitry Moor, the author of the first Soviet posters, including the famous self-portrait "Did you volunteer?" After the revolution, Mayakovsky himself, a good draftsman, began to work precisely in the style of the Novocherkassk genius.

One of Mayakovsky's first posters in future "ROST Windows" was written in 1920 and is called "ROST Poster. Elephant and Moska. " A vivid example of revolutionary art, filled with satire and social criticism. Against the background of a simple but expressive design, an elephant is depicted, personifying power and power, and a moska, symbolizing small but persistent forces trying to attract attention to themselves.

In 1921, Mayakovsky responded to May Day and wrote a poster "How to walk around the city of the bridge breaking - the city will fix the First of May. Poster of Growth. "

How to walk around the city bridge breaking - the city fix the first of May. Poster of Rost, V.V. Mayakovsky, 1921

Against the background of dynamic and expressive design, the poet uses the metaphor of "breaking the pavement" as a symbol of the destruction of the old order and the need for active action to create something new. The text on the poster, written in a characteristic Mayakovsky manner, calls for unity and collective efforts in building a new world. It sounds like a manifesto that inspires people not only to dream about change, but also to actively participate in their implementation. This poster has become a symbol of hope and desire for a better future, reflecting the optimism and determination of the era.
