El Lissitzky Poster: The Announcer (Victory Over the Sun, No. 2)

El Lissitzky's "The Announcer" is the striking second poster in the Victory Over the Sun series. This large-format 62x91cm lithograph poster brilliantly embodies Soviet Constructivism and the Russian Avant-Garde movement, making a powerful statement piece for any modern collection.

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.

The Announcer (No. 2), in particular, showcases the dramatic introduction of a figure meant to communicate the opera's radical message, rendered in Lissitzky's signature geometric precision.
