The rest of the name, Mayakovsky, runs in bold black letters across the middle, three short black diagonal ticks sit at lower left, and a red-and-black ring occupies the lower right. The front cover of Lissitzky's 1923 design for Mayakovsky's poetry collection For the Voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLissitzky designed For the Voice in Berlin in 1923: thirteen poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky, printed in red and black, each found through a die-cut thumb index down the edge of the pages. The book credits him as its constructor rather than its illustrator. Copies are held by museums including the Museum of Modern Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Lissitzky (1890–1941) was a Russian artist, designer and architect and one of the central figures of Constructivism. Trained as an architect in Darmstadt, he illustrated Yiddish children's books before joining Kazimir Malevich at the Vitebsk art school in 1919, where he began the abstract compositions he called Prouns. In Berlin in the early 1920s he carried the new Russian art to Western Europe, designing the picture book Of Two Squares, Mayakovsky's For the Voice and the Proun Room, and later the photomontage exhibitions of the Soviet Union. His work is held by the Museum of Modern Art, the Tretyakov Gallery, Tate and the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
