This lithograph by El Lissitzky illustrates the Jewish folk tale 'The Goat', rendered in a simplified, geometric style with a restrained palette of red, black, and cream.
This lithograph is an illustration by El Lissitzky (1890-1941), a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist, and architect. He was an important figure of the Russian avant-garde, helping develop Suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and designing numerous exhibition displays and propaganda works for the Soviet Union. His work greatly influenced the Bauhaus and Constructivist movements, and he experimented with production techniques and stylistic devices that would dominate 20th-century graphic design. This illustration, with text in Hebrew, depicts a man lying prone, seemingly ill or dead. A figure in red stands at his head, holding a candle. In the background, a skeletal figure writes in a book. A small goat stands at the foot of the bed. The composition is rendered in a simplified, almost geometric style, with flat planes of colour and bold outlines. The palette is restrained, dominated by red, black, and cream, which contributes to the image's stark and unsettling mood. The work reflects Lissitzky's interest in Jewish culture and folklore, combined with his avant-garde aesthetic.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
