El Lissitzky Poster: Anxious People (Victory Over the Sun, No. 4)

El Lissitzky's "Anxious People" is the psychologically resonant fourth poster in the critical Victory Over the Sun series. This large-format 62x91cm lithograph poster captures the human tension within the revolutionary framework of Soviet Constructivism and Russian Avant-Garde graphic design.

Lissitzky depicts mechanical figures through bold colours and striking geometric shapes. This series of prints responds to a 1913 futurist opera titled Victory Over the Sun. In it, the protagonists seek to destroy time by capturing the sun. The opera featured radically experimental music and scenes spoken in 'zaum,' an invented futurist language. Lissitzky saw a production in 1920 and was inspired to invent his own designs for the characters and stage setting. Conceived as mechanical puppets or 'automatons' rather than actors, the forms retain a distorted sense of human anatomy.

Anxious People (No. 4) stands out as a depiction of human reaction amidst the radical technological and temporal destruction envisioned by the opera. Its powerful geometry conveys a sense of unease and dynamism, making it a compelling study in early modernist graphic design.
