Note
Rowell/ Wye 505 and ills. p.210f; Compton, Russian Avant-Garde Books 1917-34, p.85; Khan-Magomedov p.118f: "In 1923 Mayakovsky's poem Pro Eto was published, with illustrations by Rodchenko which are today regarded as a seminal work of photomontage. In fact, it could be claimed that the painter was the co-author of this work, since he had not limited himself to illustrating the poem in order to render its meaning clearer, but had created a series of artistic compositions, capable of conjuring up profound associations of meaning."
