El Lissitzky (1890-1941) was a prominent Russian artist and designer known for his innovative contributions to the fields of graphic design, architecture, and photography. His works often reflected his political beliefs and support for the Soviet Union. One of Lissitzky's notable pieces is "Beat the Whites with the red wedge" (Poster), created in 1920. This powerful artwork symbolizes the Bolsheviks' victory over their opponents during the Russian Civil War. The use of bold colors and geometric shapes showcases Lissitzky's unique style. In collaboration with Hans Arp, Lissitzky also contributed to "Die Kunstismen" (The Isms of Art) in 1925. This publication explored various art movements such as Dadaism, highlighting Lissitzky's interest in avant-garde concepts. Lissitzky's involvement in promoting Soviet achievements can be seen through illustrations like those found in "USSR Builds Socialism" from 1933. These artworks depict significant projects undertaken by the Soviet Union at that time, including dirigible construction, industrial development at places like Zuyev Workers Club and Stalingrad Tractor Plant. His belief in communism is evident through works like "Communism is Soviet government plus electrification of the whole country, " which emphasizes his support for socialist ideals combined with technological progress. Lissitzky also paid tribute to influential figures such as Rosa Luxemburg through his monument design from 1919-1920. This piece reflects his admiration for Luxemburg's revolutionary activism within socialist circles. Beyond politics, Lissitzky showcased versatility by creating artworks like "Footballer" in 1926. This dynamic portrayal captures movement on canvas while demonstrating his ability to capture diverse subjects beyond socio-political themes. Another iconic creation by Lissitzky is "Proun 5A, " dating back to 1919.
