Title: Neuer (New Man) from Figurinen, die Plastische Gestaltung der elektro-mechanischen Schau "Sieg über die Sonne" (Figurines: The Three-Dimensional Design of the Electro-Mechanical Show "Victory over the Sun")
Date: 1923
Artist: El Lissitzky
Design Movement: Russian Suprematism and Constructivism
El Lissitzky was a significant figure in Russian and Western European art in the early 1900's, especially for the Jewish cultural renaissance during that time.
I find this particular work of art by him to be exceptionally interesting and beautiful, mainly because of the focus on dimension and how shapes and lines can terminate and disappear behind other lines and shapes. The colors used are also very important and intriguing to me, and I like the strong half circle line that directs your eyes from the red square (which you see first) up to the corner where the red star is.
