For the voice by Vladimir Mayakovsky ( Book )
17 editions published between 1923 and 2000 in 4 languages and held by 267 libraries worldwide
The Russian Constructivist El Lissitzky revolutionized the concept of the printed book. He called himself a "Book Constructor" on the title-page of For the Voice where Maiakovskii's poems are set out like an address book. Sophie Lissitzky-Küppers quotes Lissitzky himself: "My pages stand in much the same relation to the poems as an accompanying piano to a violin. Just as the poet in his poem unites concept and sound, I have tried to create an equivalent unity using the poem and typography." -- El Lissitzky, Life, Letters, Texts (London, 1980) caption to pls 95-108. See Susan Compton, Russian Avant Garde Books 1917-34 (BL, 1992), pp. 92-6.
