Summary:

Eliezar (Lazar) Markovich Lissitzky (Russia, 1890-1941), El Lissitzky, is one of the most influential, experimental and controversial artists of the early decades of the twentieth century. He worked with the Soviets after the October Revolution of 1917, with European avante-garde art in the 1920s, and as a propagandist of the Stalinist regime throughout the 1930s until his death. He was a painter, graphic designer and typographer, designer of exhibitions, architect and photographer. One of the most important characteristics of his life and work was the crossing of borders and frontiers.
