He was one of the leading pioneers of the of the photomontage. perhaps his most well known work was a children's book he created to teach about mathematics and politics called 2 squares. the graphic style of the book is very simple it is telling the story of a red and black square one of witch the black square rains chaos eventually the red square Win's over restoring peace. although the book only has 10 pages and dose not have much text it gives a great deal of information in the way the words are placed.
