Lenin encouraged modernist art- They had a deep interest in Picasso's work 'Factory'. This was the time when art work would have workers in it instead of Kings and Queens. A new Modern society was being born.

Poster by Rodchenko "Books"
A lot of people where illiterate in Russia, when i say a lot I mean pretty much the whole population. Not only did this poster spread a message through image but it also encouraged the mass to learn how to read. Woman in the Poster. Makes more woman interested, rules out the conventional man and wife role. Again rd is used in this poster and THE Triangle which symbolizes the Russian army formation. Education was a new way of getting rid of the old regime.
