- Lot Description
Watercolor and ink on paper, geometric abstraction arranged around a central circular form with radiating diagonals. The composition features rectilinear color blocks in red, green, ochre, blue, and black, offset by fine linear accents. The sheet is numbered 14 in the lower margin, suggesting a relation to a sequential series of studies.
El Lissitzky was a pivotal figure of the Russian avant-garde, closely linked to Kazimir Malevich and the Suprematist movement. His celebrated Proun works introduced a new visual vocabulary that bridged painting, architecture, and graphic design. The present work demonstrates his characteristic use of dynamic diagonals, intersecting planes, and a disciplined palette.
Comparable to Lissitzky’s Proun studies and Suprematist watercolors held in international museum collections (e.g., MoMA, Stedelijk, Tretyakov Gallery).
Provenance: According to the current owner, the artwork has been in the family's possession in Moscow since World War II. The piece was brought to the US when the family moved to Massachusetts.
14 x 11 3/8 in., (35.6 x 28.2 cm.)
Condition
Losses and tears to the upper edge. Staining, foxing, and handling marks across the sheet. Colors remain vivid.
