gustav klutsis

Klutsis created a new visual language that fused geometric abstraction, photographic montage, and political agitation. He formulated his own theory of “pictorial montage,” in which dynamic compositions and bold colour contrasts were employed in the service of propaganda. Klutsis became one of the key founders of political poster art in the Soviet Union. Among his most important works are the poster Let’s Fulfil the Plan of Great Works and the Dynamic City series, which exemplify his radical treatment of form and content. Klutsis’s paintings and graphic works are held in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
