Portrait of El Lissitzky

El Lissitzky

Russian 1890–1941

El Lissitzky was a Soviet artist, designer, and architect who became one of the most influential figures of the Russian avant-garde. His 'Proun' series — hybrid compositions between architecture and painting — explored the relationship between two- and three-dimensional space. He was a key bridge between Suprematism and the European modernist movements, particularly De Stijl and the Bauhaus.
