Fascinating collage. In hopes that knowing more about the artist might help, I read the Wikipedia article. In part, it says "In 1924, he helped with the mounting of the first Constructivist exhibition in Yugoslavia, held in the premises of the Secondary Technical School in Ljubljana. The exhibits included architectural models, reliefs and sculptures, as well as parts of machines, overalls and politically artistic slogans. This exhibition has now been partially re-constructed as part of the new displays at the re-built Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana." This thumbnail sketch is entirely consistent with what we see in the collage but not very helpful in identification. The references in the Wikipedia article are not relevant. Looking at that bail, I like Jason's guess.
