Exercise your artistie strength to engirdle cities until you are able to take part in the world's work.
Give new colors and outlines to the world.
These «small groups» have neither the strength, nor the desire to meet the problem.
These «Art Priests» keep aesthetic knowledge to themselves. Between the people and themselves they have established a wall.
On this day of demonstration, the First of may, when Proletarians are gathered in a United Front, we call you Organisers of the World!
Break the Barrier «Beauty for Ourselves». Break the artistic «school» barriers!
Add your strength to the united energy of the collective.
We know that the aesthetics of old, branded with the name «Rights» who revive monasticism, and await inspiration from the Saints, will not answer our call!
We call the Lefts, Revolutionary Futurists, who have given the streets their art, the producers who have given inspiration an accurate account. Their inspiration they took from Factory Dinamoes!
Constructiveness has been substituted for mysticism. The mystery of creation has been replaced by the shaping of materials.
The «Lefts» of the world. We know little of your name; the names of your schools, but this we do know, wherever revolutions begin, there you grow.
We call upon you to establish a single Front of the Left Art – The Red Art International.
Comrades! Sprit Left from Right Art everywhere! With Left Art prepare the European Revolution. In S. S. S. R. strengthen it.
Communicate with your staff in Moscow (Journal «Lef» Nikitsky Boulevard 8, Moscow).
Not by accident did we choose the First of May the day of our call.
Only in conjunction with the Worker's Revolution can we see the dawn of future Art.
We, who have worked for five years in a Land of Revolution know:
That the October Revolution has given us great ideas which require new formations.
Only the October Revolution, which freed art from Bourgeois enslavement, has given freedom to Art.
