“Insert the red and clear on black” is an artwork created by El Lissitzky in 1920, in Moscow, Russian Federation. This piece is an illustration belonging to the “Suprematic tale about two squares” series and forms part of the Suprematism art movement.
The artwork showcases a striking arrangement of geometric shapes, primarily utilizing red and white tones juxtaposed against a black background. The composition employs a dynamic interplay of forms, which appear to be positioned angularly on a black square, creating a sense of depth and movement. The use of sharp edges and contrasting colors exemplifies the principles of Suprematism, emphasizing abstraction and the supremacy of geometric forms. The distinct arrangement and minimalistic color palette are quintessential features of Lissitzky’s avant-garde style.
