Painting Description
"Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge" is a seminal piece of Soviet propaganda and an iconic example of constructivist art created by Eliezer Markowich Lissitzky, known as El Lissitzky, in 1919-1920. This work is a lithograph that epitomizes the visual language of the Russian avant-garde and is one of the most famous political posters from the period following the Russian Revolution of 1917.
The artwork features an abstract composition that symbolizes the Bolsheviks' (the Reds) triumph over their opponents (the Whites) during the Russian Civil War. The central element of the composition is a large red wedge penetrating a white circle against a black background, representing the Bolsheviks piercing through their adversaries. The use of geometric shapes and the stark color contrast are characteristic of the constructivist movement, which sought to reflect modernity and the industrial age through art.
El Lissitzky, a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, and architect, was a key figure in the constructivist movement and a proponent of the integration of art and architecture with politics and daily life. His work "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge" not only served as a piece of visual propaganda but also as an example of how art could be used as a tool for social and political change.
The poster has been widely analyzed for its aesthetic qualities and its historical significance as a visual representation of the ideological struggle of the time. It remains a subject of study in art history courses and is frequently exhibited in museums around the world, reflecting its enduring impact on both art and political communication.
