El Lissitzky

El Lissitzky is known as an artist, designer, typographer, photographer and architect, from Russia. Many of his work and exhibitions were designed as propaganda for the Soviet Union in the early 20th century. He helped develop the Suprematist art moment and influenced the Bauhaus and Constructive movements. In his work he tended to use "prouns" which are abstract, geometric shapes in order to "define the spatial relationships of his compositions."
