This piece was El Lissitzky’s first propaganda work, printed by the Litizdat branch of the Political Directorate of the Western Front in 1920. It is typical of Suprematism with its use of both non-figurative forms and text. The red wedge represents the Bolsheviks, piercing the white circle of the Imperial White Movement.
