Description
A dynamic composition of angular shapes and lines, 'Flying Sun' by El Lissitzky reflects the Constructivist movement's interest in abstraction and modern industrial society.
This work by El Lissitzky (1890-1941), a Russian artist, typifies the Constructivist movement. Lissitzky was a significant figure in the Russian avant-garde, exploring abstraction and geometric forms to express modern industrial society. He worked across painting, graphic design, typography, and architecture, aiming to integrate art with everyday life and social change. Constructivism rejected decorative ornamentation, instead favouring functional design and industrial materials. 'Flying Sun' presents a dynamic composition of angular shapes and lines. A figure is suggested within the geometric abstraction, seemingly suspended against a backdrop of architectural forms. The monochromatic palette, executed in ink, adds to the work's stark, industrial aesthetic. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement, reflecting the Constructivist interest in space and dynamism.

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.
