An examination of the importance of paper in the work of Soviet artist, designer, and architect El Lissitzky.   Russian artist El Lissitzky´s work spans painting, photography, theatrical and exhibition design, architecture, graphic design, typography, and literature. He was active in the Jewish cultural renaissance, formed an artists´ collective with Kazimir Malevich, was a key figure in the dissemination of early Soviet art in Western Europe, and designed propaganda for the Stalin regime. With such a varied history and body of work, scholars have often struggled to identify the core principles that tied his diverse oeuvre together.   In El Lissitzky on Paper, Samuel Johnson argues that Lissitzky´s commitment to creating works on paper is a constant that unites his endeavors. Paper played a key role in the utopian projects that informed Lissitzky´s work, and the artist held a commitment to print as the premier medium of immediate public exchange. Johnson analyzes and contextualizes this idea against the USSR´s strict management of this essential resource and the growth of new media communications, including the telephone, telegraph, and film.   With this book, Johnson presents a significant contribution to scholarship on this major artist, revealing new connections between Lissitzky´s work in architecture and visual art and bringing to light sources from largely unstudied Russian archives.mehr
