El Lissitzky's 1919 lithograph, 'Illustration to Chad Gadya', is a striking example of Suprematist-influenced illustration, blending geometric abstraction with Jewish cultural themes in a dynamic composition.
This lithograph is one of eleven plates created by El Lissitzky in 1919 as illustrations for the Yiddish folk song 'Chad Gadya' (One Kid). Lissitzky's interpretation moves away from traditional literal depictions of the song's narrative, instead employing a visual language rooted in Suprematism and Constructivism. The series marks a significant point in Lissitzky's artistic development, as he began to explore the fusion of Jewish culture with avant-garde aesthetics. The image features a dynamic composition of geometric forms and symbolic imagery. A stylised rooster, rendered in red and white, dominates the scene, its form abstracted into curved shapes. Below, a cluster of buildings suggests a village, depicted with angular lines and simplified forms. Hebrew text is integrated into the design, arching over the rooster and appearing at the bottom of the image. The colour palette is restrained, with red, green, and black against a cream background, contributing to the print's graphic impact.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
