This is one of series of artworks by David Mabb in which he explores manifestations of Socialist/Marxist ideas, often through the adaptation of designs by William Morris and the Russian Constructivists. The cover to this broadsheet reproduces the cover desinged by El Lissitzky for ‘For the Voice’ a revolutionary collection of poems by Valdimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930), published in Berlin in 1923, which reflected themes he took up in the period after the Russian Revolution such as anger with the idle and satiated bourgeoisie, compassion for the struggle of the common people, and a call for an “army of the arts” to help in the fight against the old order. In the 'Announcer' exhibition, David Mabb celebrated the utopian ideas of Morris and El Lissitzky through their seminal book designs: Morris’s Kelmscott Press edition of 'The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer' and Lissitzky’s designs for 'For the Voice', considered one of the finest achievements in Russian avant-garde bookmaking.
