Description
A 1942 Soviet propaganda poster by El Lissitzky, featuring photomontage techniques to encourage industrial production for the war effort.
Produced in 1942, this poster represents the later output of El Lissitzky, an artist known for his earlier contributions to the Suprematist and Constructivist movements. By the second world war, his aesthetic shifted to accommodate the requirements of Soviet state propaganda. The composition employs a photomontage technique, combining portraits of factory workers with depictions of military hardware, specifically a tank and an aircraft. The background shows a busy industrial interior, linking the domestic labour force directly to the war effort.
The design is structured with bold, geometric blocks of red and black, typical of the artist's graphic sensibility. The text, written in Russian, lists various armaments before concluding with the titular slogan. The juxtaposition of the workers' faces with the machinery creates a clear narrative of national unity and industrial output. Lissitzky uses the red star, a symbol of the Soviet Union, to provide a sharp colour contrast against the monochrome photographic elements. This work demonstrates the application of avant-garde graphic design principles to the urgent needs of wartime communication. It remains a clear example of how the artist adapted his visual language to serve political objectives during a period of national crisis.

Artist Biography
El Lissitzky
Lissitzky was rejected from the St Petersburg Art Academy in 1909 because of a quota limiting Jewish students. He went to Darmstadt, Germany, to study architecture instead. The detour shaped everything: his Prouns (Project for the Affirmation of the New), begun around 1919, sit between painting and architecture, abstract compositions that suggest three-dimensional space without depicting it.
He was born Lazar Markovich Lissitzky in 1890. After returning to Russia, he worked alongside Malevich at the UNOVIS art school in Vitebsk, where Suprematism and the revolution were supposed to be the same thing. He became one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, his poster designs, book layouts, and exhibition installations connecting Russian avant-garde art to the Bauhaus and De Stijl in western Europe.
He contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and continued working as a book artist and photomonteur because he could do it lying down. His sister Jenta committed suicide in Vitebsk in 1925 while he was hospitalised in Switzerland. He married Sophie Kuppers, a German woman whose family disapproved of the match; she had to leave her sons behind to move to Moscow. He died in Moscow in 1941, the year Germany invaded Russia.
