Beschreibung
A classic Constructivist lithograph by El Lissitzky, featuring geometric forms and architectural elements from his 'Victory over the Sun' portfolio.
This lithograph is a plate from the portfolio 'Victory over the Sun', published in 1924. El Lissitzky, a central figure in the Russian avant-garde, developed his 'Proun' compositions to bridge the gap between painting and architecture. This work demonstrates his interest in geometric abstraction and the spatial possibilities of the printed page.
The composition features a large red circle, which acts as a celestial body or planet. Upon its surface, small, architectural structures are rendered in black and grey, suggesting a city or a station. Above this sphere, two squares, one red and one black, float in the negative space. These forms are contained within a thin, rectangular frame, which provides a sense of order to the otherwise weightless arrangement of shapes.
Lissitzky incorporates typography into the design, placing Russian text at the bottom of the frame. The placement of the letters is deliberate, echoing the geometric logic of the visual elements. The work reflects the artist's fascination with technology, speed, and the new visual language of the early twentieth century. By stripping away representational detail, Lissitzky focuses on the relationship between mass, colour, and space. The limited palette of red, black, and cream allows the viewer to focus on the balance of the forms. This print is an example of the Constructivist approach to graphic design, where the page is treated as a dynamic field of interaction rather than a static surface. It remains a clear representation of the period's desire to create a universal visual vocabulary through simple, primary shapes and precise, calculated placement.

Artist Biography
El Lissitzky
He was born Lazar Markovich Lissitzky in 1890. After returning to Russia, he worked alongside Malevich at the UNOVIS art school in Vitebsk, where Suprematism and the revolution were supposed to be the same thing. He became one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, his poster designs, book layouts, and exhibition installations connecting Russian avant-garde art to the Bauhaus and De Stijl in western Europe.
He contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and continued working as a book artist and photomonteur because he could do it lying down. His sister Jenta committed suicide in Vitebsk in 1925 while he was hospitalised in Switzerland. He married Sophie Kuppers, a German woman whose family disapproved of the match; she had to leave her sons behind to move to Moscow. He died in Moscow in 1941, the year Germany invaded Russia.
