Eliezer Markowich Lissitzky Paintings

El Lissitzky, born Lazar Markovich Lissitzky on November 23, 1890, in Pochinok, Russia, was a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist and architect. He was an important figure of the Russian avant-garde, contributing to the development of suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and designing numerous exhibition displays and propaganda works for the Soviet Union.

His work greatly influenced the Bauhaus and constructivist movements, and he experimented with production techniques that would go on to dominate 20th-century graphic design. Lissitzky's experience with Jewish culture as a child, combined with his education and his strong political and cultural idealism, formed the basis for his extensive artistic and pedagogical activities.

During his career, Lissitzky, who was also known by the name 'El,' developed a suprematist style which he called Proun (Project for the Affirmation of the New), which was a fusion of art and architecture. This was part of his exploration of the visual language of the emerging communist state, where he sought a new form of expression that could be universally understood beyond the boundaries of spoken language.

El Lissitzky's health deteriorated due to tuberculosis, which he had contracted in his youth. This condition led to his death on December 30, 1941, in Moscow. Despite his relatively short life, his work and ideas had a profound impact on the development of modern art and design, inspiring future generations of artists, architects, and designers.
