“Flying Sun,” created by artist El Lissitzky in 1916, is a symbolic painting belonging to the Cubo-Futurism art movement. The artwork exemplifies the avant-garde blend of geometric forms and dynamic composition characteristic of this period.
The artwork, rendered in monochrome, portrays a complex, abstract scene composed of intersecting lines and curvilinear shapes. This dynamic configuration seems to depict an urban environment intertwined with organic forms, coalescing into a harmonious whole. The central element, resembling a sun, is surrounded by angular and circular motifs, suggesting movement and energy. The background features architectural elements, reminiscent of buildings, further emphasizing the merger of natural and constructed forms. The overall presentation reflects the Cubo-Futurist fascination with industrial progress and the interplay between modernity and nature.
