Materials: Wood Leather Dimensions: D 51 cm x W 57 cm H 73 cm El Lissitzky designed the portable plywood model D61 for the hygiene exhibition in Dresden. The exhibition was a specialty and went back to the director of the then Hygiene Museum. The aim was to record the contemporary problems of hygiene and to promote a health-oriented lifestyle. Universal artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941) is one of the key protagonists of constructivism. The architect, photographer, designer, graphic artist and painter first studied architecture at Darmstadt Technical University (1909-1914) and in Moscow (1914-1918), and then followed Marc Chagall’s invitation to teach at Witebsk Art School, where he met Kazimir Malevich. Lissitzky liked to call himself a “constructor”.
