Books propaganda poster 

This 1920s propaganda poster by Alexander Rodchenko uses bold, graphic elements to encourage the distribution of books during the Soviet Union. The poster features a red-star wearing soldier holding books with the text, "Red Army soldier, bring the books of Gosizdat to every hut. In the book, light and knowledge," emphasizing the role of knowledge in Soviet society. It includes small rectangular frames on either side containing images promoting various aspects of the Soviet Union, such as agriculture, transportation, and military, further illustrating the importance of books for enlightenment and progress. The poster's vibrant colors and geometric compositions exemplify Rodchenko's Constructivist aesthetic, a revolutionary style that embraced the utility of art in furthering social goals.
