EL LISSITZKY / JEWISH PERIOD 1916 1919

Featuring more than five hundred works, lavishly reproduced in color and black and white, the book tracks his evolution from an expr essionist style to one that is increasingly more abstract and nonobjective. It also includes rare photographic material of the artis ts family, as well as little-known correspondence from his father and details about his relationship with his first wife, who has h eretofore been entirely obscured in the artists biography.
