More Russian art, this time a selection of works by El Lissitzsky. Living from 1890 to 1941 he worked in Germany almost as much as he did in Russia. Part of the Suprematism movement and quite avant-garde.

On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
