El Lissitzky

description

Mediums: panel, oil.
Location: The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, (Spain).

Initially, the creator, if he is not a primitive artist, starts from geometry – the beginning artists are taught to first see a circle, oval, square or triangle to objects, so that they then depict the three-dimensional harmony and beauty of the object. Thus, Constructivists followed Cubists to the very sources of creativity. Another thing is that Lissitzky did not move on to figurative images or other forms of painting reminiscent of traditional. He remained a suprematist, cubo-futurist and constructivist in all his independent creations, if not mentioning the illustration of children’s books, where the artist resorted to primitive methods.
