An Elephant Out of a Fly — Art Print

Description

Делать из мухи слона. “To make an elephant out of a fly.” English makes a mountain out of a molehill, which is a landscaping issue. Russian turns an insect into an elephant.

It is a far better description of what actually happens: something tiny walks into the room and leaves the size of a building.

Soviet constructivist poster logic — hard diagonals, two inks, geometry doing the shouting. The scale shift is the whole joke and the whole composition.
