The artwork titled “Proun 5 A” was created by the artist El Lissitzky in 1919. It is rendered in gouache and pencil on paper and belongs to the Constructivism art movement. Measuring 22 by 17.5 centimeters, the piece is classified within the design genre and forms part of the “Prouns” series. Currently, this artwork is housed at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
“Proun 5 A” exemplifies El Lissitzky’s exploration of geometric abstraction and spatial dynamics, characteristic of Constructivism. The composition features a complex arrangement of shapes and lines, creating a sense of architectural depth and movement. The use of soft hues combined with precise angular forms evokes a balance between artistic expression and technical precision. The abstract forms are meticulously arranged to convey a conceptual construct that invites viewers to ponder the intersection of art and design.
