“Proun 43,” created by El Lissitzky, is a notable piece within the Constructivism movement and belongs to the design genre. This artwork is part of Lissitzky’s distinguished “Prouns” series.
The artwork showcases a geometric composition characterized by sharp angles and intersecting shapes in rich primary colors. Dominated by a central triangular form in gray, it contrasts prominently against a backdrop composed of symmetrical red and blue quadrants, delineated by bold white diagonal lines. The visual elements reveal a meticulous balance, underlined by the precise arrangement of smaller geometric shapes and lines, which appear to be in harmonious tension. The work embodies the Constructivist ethos of combining art with functional design, emphasizing abstract visual language to evoke modernist ideals.
