The artwork titled “Here are two squares” was created by El Lissitzky in 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation. It belongs to the Suprematism art movement and can be categorized as an illustration. This piece is part of the “Suprematic tale about two squares” series.
In the artwork, two prominent squares dominate the composition, encapsulated within a larger, lightly outlined square frame. One square is rendered in solid black, positioned with its sides parallel to the frame. Below this, slightly overlapping and tilted at an angle, is a vibrant red square. The overall aesthetic is minimalist, emphasizing geometric shapes and primary colors. The arrangement and orientation of the squares evoke a sense of dynamic movement and contrast within the orderly outline. Accompanying the visual elements is a textual component, “ДВА” and other Russian characters, strategically placed on the artwork, contributing to its narrative and illustrative purpose.
