a landmark work for the russian avant-garde movement. The title derives from Mayakovsky''s 13 poems which were meant to be read aloud. It represents an important period in the development of Constructivist design by Lissitzky. Its typography, a collaboration of design and color by the artist and author to give new dimensions to the printed word on a page, was a major influence on western European art, particularly to the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements.
