For the Voice Pl.11
1923
Imagine a book that yells at you—that's what El Lissitzky and Vladimir Mayakovsky created in 1923 with *For the Voice*. This specific page features a massive red hand known as a 'typofacto,' pointing down like a bossy finger to highlight Mayakovsky's aggressive poem. The text demands the 'fattest, baldest' bureaucrat be thrown into a famine relief report (Pomgol). Lissitzky didn't just illustrate the poems; he built them visually, using bold Constructivist geometry to turn reading into a physical, almost shouting experience.
