Rare 1917 first edition of the first ever book designed by El Lissitzky.
The text is a Yiddish poem, which consists of a folk story of Jewish Messianic hope and miracles in the ghetto of 16th century Prague. This folk tale is apparently an allegory to the exhilaration felt among Russia’s avant-garde Jews concerning the apocalyptic course of the Russian Revolution.
This, Lissitzky’s first consciously Jewish work, created a new aesthetic experience, integrating religious and cultural origins and transforming them into a regenerated secular perspective.
Yiddish text is handwritten in “Assyrian script” (Lissitzky’s term for Hebrew square letters) in a traditional calligraphic style. This copy is with the lithographic title page and dedication to Rabbi Jacob Kahan-Shabshai [Yaakov Cohen Shabshay, Yaacov Yakov Kagan Shabshai]
Lissitzky was a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist and architect. He was an important figure of the Russian avant-garde, helping develop suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and designing numerous exhibition displays and propaganda works for the Soviet Union. His work greatly influenced the Bauhaus and constructivist movements, and he experimented with production techniques and stylistic devices that would go on to dominate 20th-century graphic design.
