The artwork titled “Book cover for ‘Suprematic tale about two squares'” was created by the artist El Lissitzky, initially dated to the year 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation. This piece of design belongs to the Suprematism art movement and is part of the series “Suprematic tale about two squares.”
The artwork features a minimalist design, characteristic of the Suprematism movement. It prominently displays a large numeral “2” in black, slightly inclined text saying “про” (which translates from Russian as “about”), and a solid red square on a beige background. The elements are arranged within a thin-lined border near the edge of the work, giving a sense of structure and balance. The overall composition is devoid of excessive detail, adhering to the movement’s principles of basic geometric forms and limited color palettes, aiming to evoke pure artistic feeling rather than representational form.
