The artwork “Proun 1 A, Bridge I,” created by El Lissitzky in 1919, is a representative piece of Constructivist design from the series known as “Prouns.”
This artwork exemplifies the principles of Constructivism, emphasizing abstract, geometric forms and a vision of art integrated into modernity and technological advancement. It features a composition of intersecting planes and lines, creating a structural balance. The use of stark, neutral colors further accentuates the sharp, industrial quality of the piece. The arrangement suggests an architectural or mechanical construct, consistent with Lissitzky’s aim to merge artistic and engineering concepts.
