{"product_id":"el-lissitzky-proun-portfolio-the-proun-room-constructivist-lithograph-print","title":"El Lissitzky — Proun Portfolio: The Proun Room | Constructivist Lithograph Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn axonometric line drawing lays out a room in isometric projection: pale grey and black rectangular planes are pinned to two adjoining walls, joined by thin diagonal struts and a small crossed-rod pinwheel with a circle at its centre. A shaded grey square sits high on the left wall, a black square anchors the right wall, and a diagonal line crosses a low platform set into the floor. Faint pencil grid lines and small handwritten marks sit at the sheet's corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Proun Room was a small room, about three metres square, that Lissitzky built for the Grosse Berliner Kunstausstellung of 1923, extending his Proun forms from the walls into three dimensions so that visitors walked into the picture. The installation was temporary; a reconstruction made in 1965 is held by the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The lithograph appeared the same year in the first Kestner portfolio, published in Hanover in fifty copies.\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.
