For the Voice

The printing and layout of "Blast" are significant as attempts to experiment with new ways of designing and presenting visual and textual material, allowing it to be seen as a predecessor to later ventures in modernist print and visual culture, such as those carried out by the partnership of author Mayakovsky and artist El Lissitzky. Shown here is a facsimile reprint of the original 1923 edition of "For the voice".
