The metamorphoses that occurred with film posters in the catalogue of the second exhibition of 1926 can be explained in much the same way. Its author wrote that contemporary posters were “so constructive and dynamic that they defeat any narrow-minded philistine “longings” typical for pre-revolutionary posters’“. The unanimous opinion of the critics was that the most successful exhibit of the exhibition organized in the foyer of the Moscow Chamber Theatre was the poster by the LEFist A. Lavinsky for S. Eisenstein’s film “Battleship Potemkin", on which painted ship cannons were aimed directly at the viewer, effectively contrasting with a snapshot of a a shouting sailor. This technique was in tune with the nature of Eisenstein’s film, which caused “not only the people to act, but
also the battleship itself, the barrels of the cannons”
