The 1923 original film poster for "Four Lives" (Четыре Жизни) is a striking example of early Soviet graphic design used to promote cinema. This poster, produced by Kino Moskva, showcases the avant-garde artistic style that was prevalent in Soviet Union during the late 1920s. The film, directed by an unknown director, is likely a dramatic narrative exploring various aspects of life, symbolized through its title. The design of the poster is dominated by a powerful figure in the foreground, depicted with strong lines and geometric shapes, reflecting the constructivist influence. The use of bold, contrasting colors like red, black, and green adds to the visual impact, drawing the viewer's attention immediately.
