Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. It was a movement in the post-revolutionary Soviet state that wanted to unite art and everyday life through mass production and industry.
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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Throughout the first meeting held in Milan by the group of designers forming a collaborative furniture manufacturing company, Bob Dylan's song Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again played repeatedly. The word mobile in Italian means furniture.
