Varvara Stepanova, flyer for "The Death of Tarelkin", 1922.

Often mentioned only alongside her husband, Alexander Rodchenko, Stepanova was an accomplished artist in her own right. Along with this flyer, she also designed the sets for the production. While it’s not known if she designed the costumes for this production, the image is very similar to the geometric clothing she created for other plays.

My first encounter with collage cut lettering. Four exercises from yesterday’s workshop with Francis Chouquet. A small exclusive group of people having a great time with knives, glue and coloured papers. We were encouraged to work intuitively without designing or planning. The purpose was to create organic and flowing letters. With too much perfection, the work looses its spontaneity and dies. And I completely relate to that. In my work in general, I always embrace intuition and spontaneity, the thing called automatic drawing/painting etc.
