EL LISSITZKY – Lazar Markovich Lissitzky, known as El Lissitzky, was a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist and architect.
Lissitzky’s work was able speak to the prevailing political discourse of his native Russia, and then the nascent Soviet Union.
Lissitzky used color and basic shapes to make strong political statements. Lissitzky also challenged conventions concerning art, and his Proun series of two-dimensional Suprematist paintings sought to combine architecture and three-dimensional space with traditional, albeit abstract, two-dimensional imagery.
Lissitzky uses all sorts of dimensional shapes which somehow turn in to art which has been much loved throughout people’s minds and hearts. It mixes with a bold colour then with beige backgrounds.
This image shows a build up of different shapes in all sizes. All are dimensional with lines, curves and albeit abstracts.
This image shows more diagonal shapes with pointed corners with very dark colours such as red and black. It reminds me of something in space such as the white circle being the moon and the black being the dark sky.
