2. The artists employed nonobjective formal elements in functional ways.
3. An example is El Lissitzky's poster Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge, which presents the Red Bolshevik cause as an aggressive red triangle attacking a defensive and static White Russian circle.
4. Lissitzky's poster has propagandistic aims, which allude to aggressive action from the left.
