Description
The Lissitzky, an outstanding figure of constructivism and Russian suprematism, created in 1920 the emblematic painting expires all scatters (Beat All The Scattered). This work is undoubtedly an expression of the vigorous visual language that defined an era of revolutionary optimism and aesthetic renewal. The Lissitzky, who moved between architecture, graphic design and painting, always sought an intersection between art and life. In this context, "overcome all scattered" emerges as a visual echo of the materialization of these ideas.
The work, with its characteristic use of geometric shapes and precise lines, reflects Lissitzky's attempt to bring the suprematist vision of his mentor Kazimir Malevich one step further. In painting, abstract elements seem to flow in a dynamic movement that, although contained in the two -dimensional space, suggests an expansion towards infinity. The red color dominates the composition, creating a sensation of energy and incessant movement, while the contrast with the white background reinforces the clarity and purity of the forms.
There are no characters represented in the work, which is characteristic of suprematism, which focuses on the purity of shapes and colors instead of figurative representation. However, the interaction between the triangular geometric forms, lines and circles evokes a certain dramatization and visual rhythm, inviting the viewer to a personal interpretation of the underlying meaning. The diagonals and curves seem to symbolize forces that are in conflict and at the same time in tune, creating a feeling of harmony within the apparent chaos.
The composition reflects a balanced, almost mathematical disposition, with a precision reminiscent of Lissitzky's architectural studies. This structure is not only visually intriguing, but also communicates a sense of stability and order within fragmentation, perhaps as a metaphor for the utopian vision that accompanied the first years of the Russian revolution.
Lissitzky, to the holder his work expires all the dispersed, was probably channeling a political and social message, reflecting the spirit of the Soviet era, aimed at consolidating and unifying in front of dispersion and chaos. The iconography of the work resonates with the suprematist ideas of transcendence and connection with a reality beyond the observable materiality.
In addition to its individual value, this painting is registered in a crucial period of modern art, where artists such as Lissitzky, Vladimir Tatlin and Aleksandr Rodchenko were reimagining the purpose and scope of art. The search to make art a functional and revolutionary tool is clearly present in "overcome all scatters", underlining the relevance of constructivism as a movement that sought to merge art and daily life in an integrative and transformative way.
In summary, "overcome all dispersed" is not only a representative piece of the genius of El Lissitzky, but also a tangible manifestation of its commitment to revolutionary ideas in art and politics. Through its austere but energetic composition, painting continues to invite a deep reflection on the power of abstract forms to communicate universal and timeless messages. This work continues to be an essential piece to understand the scope of suprematism and constructivism in the history of modern art.
