Nick's recent lecture involved modernism, cubism and Russian constructivism. We looked at the innovation and expansion of the arts during this period which was really interesting. We looked into 3 of the main cities - Paris, Milan and Moscow, and I will be focusing on constructivist posters in this blog and exploring the key attributes.
The photo montage aspects within the poster are particularly powerful due to subject of the image. Furthermore, one distinct aspect of Rodchenko's posters is the geometric, diagonal format which is successful. Although it is very simple, it is a good way of portraying a message clearly and cleverly to ensure the audience can understand it.
In conclusion both posters were very successful in their time, but both served two different purposes. The propaganda poster by Rodchenko was to deliver a message and the Stenberg Brothers poster was advertising a movie. Due to the type of audience, both used a similar bold font, easy to understand and portray the message, or express emotion.
