Soviet Era Poster 544: Magnet Design

This refrigerator magnet showcases a powerful visual from the early Soviet era, drawing directly from the iconic propaganda poster, "The war of Capital destroys β€” Labor rebuilds," created by E. Luzhkovskii circa 1919. The artwork, a lithograph, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central theme, as the title implies, is a stark contrast between two opposing forces. The design likely depicts the destructive nature of capitalism juxtaposed against the constructive power of labor and the socialist ideals of rebuilding. The visual style, characteristic of early Soviet propaganda, uses bold imagery to convey its message directly and accessibly to a broad audience.

The imagery likely symbolizes the core tenets of the Soviet ideology: class struggle, the valorization of workers, and the promise of a brighter future through collective effort. The visual composition, with its likely emphasis on strong lines and dynamic forms, probably underscores the themes of conflict, destruction, and the ultimate triumph of labor. The use of clear visual metaphors would have aimed to resonate with a population undergoing significant social and political transformation.

The artist, E. Luzhkovskii, created a piece that served as a core element of a larger strategy. The visual communication, produced by Politodel, PUR β€” the Political Department of the Political Directorate of the Revolutionary Military Council – reflects the significance of visual media in shaping public consciousness during a time of immense change and ideological struggle.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed β€” a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed β€” avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately β€” don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3β€³ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
