The posters for the movie Battleship Potemkin created by Aleksandr Rodchenko in 1925 became prominent examples of Soviet constructivist art. [1] One version shows a sniper sight on two scenes of Eisenstein's movie, representing two guns of the Battleship. [2]
Another version was created in 1926. [3] Being part of collections of museums such as Valencia's IVAM, [4] shows a much clearer image. [4] Using a central romboid figure with the Battleship on it, combines graphic design and photomontage to create an image where the Battleship is the main protagonist. [4] The clear image contrasts with the aggressive use of painting, [5] whereas the diagonal lines are also a recognizable trait of the work. [5]
There is also a poster where the central figure is a sailor, with the Battleship on the central background. [6]
