“Black Anxious” is an illustration by artist El Lissitzky, created in 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation. This piece belongs to the Constructivism art movement and is part of the “Suprematic tale about two squares” series.
The artwork features a composition of geometric shapes and lines, predominantly in the hues of black and white. It embodies the Constructivist ideals of abstraction, emphasizing minimalist geometric forms. The arrangement of rectangles, squares, and lines creates a sense of dynamic tension and complexity. The deliberate use of black and white contrasts adds a striking visual impact, invoking a sense of anxiety and unease, resonant with the artwork’s title, “Black Anxious.” The minimalist and abstract style is characteristic of Lissitzky’s contributions to the Constructivism movement, reflecting a focus on the structural and spatial relationships between geometric elements.
