Description
The work "Proun 1 A - Puente I" (1919) of El Lissitzky is an outstanding example of the artistic and architectural movement known as Proun, which aims to be a bridge between art and architecture. In this context, the term "Proun" is an acronym for "projects for the affirmation of the new in art" (from the Russian "?????????????? ??? " -" Projekty Utverzhdeniya Novogo "). This series of works, of which "Proun 1 A - Puente I" is a remarkable precursor, is essential to understand the role of the Lissitzky as a pioneer of constructivism and an innovative in form and space.
Visually, "Proun 1 A - Bridge I" is characterized by its geometric approach, using simple forms and defined lines that converge in a configuration that suggests architecture in a two -dimensional space. The composition highlights symmetry and balance, attracting the view towards a central axis that seems to be crossed by abstract pillars, reminiscent of the structure of a bridge, as the title suggests. This provision not only creates a sense of structure and stability, but also introduces dynamism through the interaction of geometric shapes.
The use of color in this piece is restricted but effective, with predominant tones of white that contrast themselves to black elements and touches of gray and light brown. This monochromatic palette does not distract the viewer, but emphasizes the purity of the forms and clarity of the structure. It is a meditated palette that reflects the commitment of the Lissitzky with the principles of constructivism and its interest in eliminating the superfluous to focus on function and form.
The Lissitzky does not include characters in this work, since its main concern is the exploration of new ways of conceiving space and structure, instead of representing human entities. This lack of human figures can be interpreted as a departure from traditional representations and a search for the universal and the abstract, in the case of a new and revolutionary visual language for its time.
The creation of "Proun 1 A - Bridge I" in 1919 places this work at a key moment in art history, in a context where European avant -garde were boiling. The Lissitzky, influenced by the suprematism of Kazimir Malévich, focuses on the decomposition of forms and their reconstruction to cause a visual experience that is both aesthetic and intellectual.
It is important to highlight that the PROUN series made a significant contribution not only to the art of painting but also to the development of graphic design theory and modern architecture. The intersection of these disciplines in the work of El Lissitzky, as observed in "Proun 1 A - Puente I", marks an advance towards a more utilitarian and functional approach to art, which would continue to influence generations of designers and architects.
In conclusion, "Proun 1 A - Bridge I" is much more than a simple painting of abstract forms; It is a manifestation of a new visual language that challenges conventions and opens the way to an integration of art with architectural thinking. The Lissitzky, with its innovative vision, invites us to reconsider the relationship between forms and spaces, through a work that remains, almost a century later, an essential reference in the history of modern art.
