Suprematicheskii skaz pro dva kvadrata (Suprematist tale of two squares)
Moscow: Ad Marginem, 2020 (1st ed. 1922). Sewn cl. This is a facsimile edition (slightly smaller) of Lisitskii's 1922 book not to be read but used as instructions to assemble, color, build (skladyvaite, kras'te, stroite) with colors and shapes. Dating to his time with UNOVIS (Utverditeli novogo iskusstva, Affirmers of the new art) in Vitebsk, Lisitskii tries to show how Suprematist forms though printed on paper express movement and creative process. The subtitle of the book "To All Children" (Vsem rebiatam) implies that he considered the discoveries of the avant-garde widely accessible and a necessary part of visual literacy. n.p., 27 cm, 9 color plates, Rus.
