At right, a red square sits inside a white square inside a black-outlined circle, lettered UNOWIS beneath it and Gekonstrueerd 1920 Witebsk below that.

The circular emblem carries the name of UNOVIS, the Vitebsk group around Kazimir Malevich to which Lissitzky belonged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Lissitzky (1890–1941) was a Russian artist, designer and architect and one of the central figures of Constructivism. Trained as an architect in Darmstadt, he illustrated Yiddish children's books before joining Kazimir Malevich at the Vitebsk art school in 1919, where he began the abstract compositions he called Prouns. In Berlin in the early 1920s he carried the new Russian art to Western Europe, designing the picture book Of Two Squares, Mayakovsky's For the Voice and the Proun Room, and later the photomontage exhibitions of the Soviet Union. His work is held by the Museum of Modern Art, the Tretyakov Gallery, Tate and the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
