Red with Black (Team Ice)

In 1919 El Lissitzky captured the first red with black poster. He carefully balanced the perfect layout. It turned out to be an agressive duo.

The red stood for the revolutionary forces, and the black represented the darkness surrounding the white monarchists. To exemplify the tension he used geometric shapes. Red and black is used against each other to show difference in opinion. This style was often used for propoganda by the Soviets. The red and black demonstrated their pugnacious nature and versitality.

Sadly, during the 1930's and 40's red and black was used to brand totalitarian regimes, such as portraits of lenin and Nazis flags.
