El Lissitzky
(1890-1941)
El (Elizar or Lazar or Eliezer) Marcovich Lissitzky was
a designer, typographer, artist, photographer, architect, and
teacher (among other jobs). He had a great influence on the
design work from the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements, and
on modern commercial art and design. Here we present in full
one of his great books, as well as other examples of his work
in various media. In addition, we present art from other
Suprematist painters, especially Kasimir Malevich.
