EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a print of "Coffin-makers" a figurine created for the opera Victory over the Sun by A. Kruchenykh, dating back to 1920-1921. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than El Lissitzky (1890-1941), known for his avant-garde contributions to art and design. Displayed in the prestigious State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, this artwork showcases Lissitzky's mastery of pencil work and fine art imagery. It beautifully combines elements of painting, theatre, ballet, and futurism into one cohesive composition. The figurine itself represents a pivotal moment in theatrical history as it was designed specifically for Victory over the Sun – an iconic futurist opera written by Aleksey Kruchenykh. This groundbreaking production pushed boundaries with its experimental stage design and scenic painting techniques. Lissitzky's intricate use of gouache and ink on paper brings depth and texture to the print, capturing the essence of this revolutionary era in theatre. The dynamic lines and bold shapes reflect both his artistic vision and the spirit of futurism that permeated early 20th-century Russia. As you gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, allow yourself to be transported back in time to witness firsthand how artists like Lissitzky transformed traditional set designs into visionary works of art.
