Lisitsky L.M. - Beat the whites with the red wedge.. Technique:  Poster. Size:  52х69. Lisitsky Lazar (El) Markovich (1890-1941) Artist and architect. One of the outstanding representatives of the Russian avant-garde. In 1919, at the invitation of Marc Chagall, he moved to Vitebsk, where he taught at the People's Art School (1919-1920). In contrast to Chagall, who gravitated towards traditional Jewish art, from 1920 Lissitzky, under the influence of Malevich, turned to Suprematism. In 1919-1921, he was one of the active figures in the Vitebsk UNOVIS, headed by K. Malevich. Here Lissitzky creates his PROUNs. He taught at the Moscow VKHUTEMAS (1921) and VKHUTEIN (since 1926); in 1920 he joined GINKHUK. He was interested in photography, in particular photomontage. His works are kept in public and private museums, as well as numerous private collections.
