  • The artist used different view of perspective building his sculptures piece by piece to create precise, linear forms, buoyed by lightness and dynamism.
  • He constructed a vertical column (backbone) ringed by an open circle and planes. 
  • It is a person leaning forward in a hunched position with her hands resting in front of her. As one moves around the sculpture to the right, the head seems to turn also, until seen from the side, there is another complete face looking towards one.

    • El Lissitzky, he produced this politically charged work in support of the Red Army shortly after the Bolsheviks had waged their revolution in 1917. The red wedge symbolized the revolutionaries, who were penetrating the anti-Communist White Army. 
    • A movement towards the future  while showing revolutionary changes of the future. The colors create the shapes, geometric shapes move through the picture creating war. 
    • Four  colours such as red, black, white and a slight grey shade near throughout the whole middle picture. A huge red triangle that pierces into a white circle, which creates the center of attention. 
    • White background creates a bright future and the black portion of the painting cuts the picture in half while having a round white center that creates a meaningful circle and also the center of attention.
    • The letters appear in black, white and red creates a movement into the white circle.

    • In the first picture, complex typographic information is organized into a text in three parallel columns separated by thick dividers, very much in a constructivist style. Furthermore, Create a contrast between two colours by using black and red to emphasis the text from 1914 until 1924.
    • Next, it is a title page for the isms of art, 1924. The graphic spirit achieved by medium weight sans serif type, grid system division of the space, white areas, and bold rules established a typographic standard for the modern movement. 
    • Vertical lines separate German, French, and English texts, and horizontal bars emphasize an important main title.

  • Reds and greens, complementary colors that activated the eye. Toned down with a bit of blue around the front of the face, the black and white photograph woman on the poster is the news of the day. However, the strong value contrast of the black and white against hue draw our attention to the character.
