An illustration by El Lissitzky for the Yiddish children's book 'The Hen Who Wanted a Comb'. This work showcases Lissitzky's innovative approach to visual storytelling, using simplified geometric forms in black and red.
This illustration by El Lissitzky (1890-1941), a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist, and architect, exemplifies the Constructivist movement's influence on book design. Lissitzky was a major figure in the Russian avant-garde, helping develop Constructivism and spreading its ideas internationally. He believed that art could be a force for social change, and he applied Constructivist principles to various media, including graphic design and typography. This particular illustration, created for the Yiddish children's book 'The Hen Who Wanted a Comb', showcases Lissitzky's innovative approach to visual storytelling. The composition features simplified, geometric forms in black and red, depicting a hen, a rooster, and a stylised landscape. The text, integrated into the design, adds another layer of meaning. Lissitzky's use of bold colours and dynamic shapes creates a visually engaging and modern aesthetic, reflecting the Constructivist emphasis on functionality and clarity.

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.
