About There is over

The artwork titled “There is over,” created by El Lissitzky in 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation, belongs to the Suprematism art movement and is part of the “Suprematic tale about two squares” series. This illustration captures the essence of Suprematism, an art genre that emphasizes basic geometric forms and a limited range of colors.

In this artwork, geometric precision is paramount, featuring prominent squares amidst a minimalist backdrop. The use of two contrasting squares, one vibrant red and the other black, stands out against a subtle, nuanced background crafted through varying shades of grey. The intentional positioning and scale of these shapes evoke a sense of dynamism and depth. The text “Тут конецно” (Here is over) embedded within the illustration adds a narrative element, inviting the viewer to ponder its significance. The stark simplicity, combined with the assertive geometric forms, epitomizes the core principles of Suprematism.
