Eliezer (Lazar) Marcovich Lissitzky (Pochinok, Smolensk, Russia, 1890-Moscow, 1941), El Lissitzky, is one of the most influential experimental and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. He worked with the Soviet and European avant-garde art in the 1920s and as a propagandist for the Stalinist regime in the thirties. He is a prolific painter, designer, architect and photographer; one of the most important characteristics of his work and his life is to “cross the limits”. He connected countries and cultures, art and design disciplines, East and West.
The exhibition aims to review the author’s creative journey through all the medium that he used to implement his ideas about a new collective and revolutionary art: paintings, photographs, photomontages, design, architecture and illustrations of books and magazines.
