The artwork titled “Cover of the book ‘Teyashim’ (‘Four billy goats’)” was created by El Lissitzky in 1922. This piece is representative of the Constructivism movement and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork features a minimalist and abstract design typical of Constructivism, using geometric shapes and a limited color palette predominantly comprised of red and black against a white background. The composition includes a central vertical arrangement of bold text, intersected by angular forms and dots that guide the viewer’s eye across the artwork. An encompassing thin black border frames the design, enhancing its structural appearance. The use of sharp lines, curves, and contrasting colors exemplifies the artist’s focus on visual dynamism and conveys a sense of modernity and precision.
