For the Voice Pl.14
1923
Imagine a blueprint for a futuristic city crashing into a typography class—that’s the energy of El Lissitzky’s 1923 design. Created for Vladimir Mayakovsky’s book *For the Voice* (Dlya Golosa), this plate uses bold red and black geometric shapes, known as 'Prouns,' to act as a visual index for the reader. It’s a brilliant example of Russian Constructivism, where art wasn't just for looking at, but for *using* to navigate the revolutionary poetry inside.
