Painting Description
'Of Two Squares: A Suprematist Tale of Two Squares in Six Constructions' (Russian: Про два квадрата. С��прематический рассказ в 6-ти построениях) is a suprematist story written and illustrated by the pioneering Russian artist and designer El Lissitzky
Published first in Berlin in 1920, and later in 1922, the book is a seminal example of early 20th-century avant-garde and a vital artifact of the Russian constructivist movement. Also known by the name "Story of Two Squares," Lissitzky's innovative work aided in the transformation of the book from a purely literary medium into a visual and typographic event, shaping the landscape of modern graphic design in the process.
The minimalist picture book depicts a narrative of two squares, one red and one black, in a series of six visual constructions. This groundbreaking use of abstract geometric forms rather than typical representational artwork to tell a narrative, showcases Lissitzky's central role in developing non-objective or suprematist art.
The book is a unique narrative and visual experience, representing a departure from traditional storytelling methodologies. Lissitzky's choice for the square as the protagonist attests to his adherence to suprematism, an art movement founded by his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, defined by the use of geometric shapes and an emphasis on the spiritual purity of form.
Of Two Squares encompasses Lissitzky's artistic and revolutionary inspirations, with the red square symbolizing the new Bolshevist government engulfing and overcoming the old regime represented by the black square. The story culminates in the construction of a new Suprematist world, reflecting the ideas propagated during the Russian Revolution, and Lissitzky's belief in art as a transformative force.
Today, Of Two Squares is held in high regard not only for its pioneering use of abstract, non-objective images to deliver a narrative but also for the influence it wielded over the evolution of modernist design, typography, and storybook art.
