Visual revolution
During the early years of the Soviet Union, the utopian drive to build a new society fostered an experimental approach to new materials, media, and techniques.
In the founding period of the Soviet Union, the utopian urge to build a new society encouraged the experimental use of new materials, media and techniques.posters In this atmosphere, the dissemination of writing and images was a decisive means of consolidating the revolutionary awakening. Posters and film were discovered and promoted as mass media. This triggered an unprecedented wealth of ideas among the leading Russian artists. Poster art had experienced a real heyday before numerous avant-garde artists fell out of favor in 1932... The Museum für Gestaltung's poster collection now aims to commemorate this period. The exhibition "Posters of Russian Constructivism" will be on display at the Swiss National Bank on Fraumünsterstrasse in Zurich from July 15 to November 17. The picture shows a motif by El Lissitzky from 1929.
