Vladimir Mayakovsky (Владимир Маяковский)

Vladimir Mayakovsky (Владимир Маяковский) was a graphic artist and designer active between 1914 and 1923. His artistic output during this period focused primarily on mass-reproducible graphic materials, illustrated publications, and politically charged designs.

The body of work represented in museum collections confirms his specialization in functional and propaganda art. Institutional holdings include documentation of 12 illustrated books, 2 prints, and 1 design. Examples of his direct contribution to political messaging include multiple instances of the "Patriotic propaganda postcard with verse by Vladimir Mayakovsky." These works demonstrate his role in integrating graphic design and text for public communication.

The historical significance of Mayakovsky's graphic material is established by its inclusion in major collections, notably the Museum of Modern Art. Due to the early date of creation, much of this material is now in the public domain, making his influential designs and Vladimir Mayakovsky (Владимир Маяковский) prints widely accessible for scholarly study. Today, collectors frequently seek high-quality prints derived from his innovative design work.
