Designer of the iconic Red Wedge poster, El Lissitzky was a major figure of the Russian avant-garde, developing Suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich. This book explores both the political and aesthetic aspects of Lissitzky's late multimedia work - his photography, photomontage, graphic and exhibition design, and Soviet propaganda are all covered. Attention is given to his collaboration with German and Soviet artists. Contains reproductions of an excellent selection of El Lissitzky's work.
