Lissitzky +

The Van Abbe Museum is using its important collection of work by the Russian artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941) for a series of exhibitions. The first takes as its theme the futuristic opera Victory over the Sun (1913) for which Kazimir Malevich designed the costumes and sets. When members of the suprematist art group Unovis, who included Lissitzky and Malevich, performed the opera in 1920 in Vitebsk, Lissitzky was inspired to mechanise the piece.

The exhibition includes important works from the Unovis school such as Lissitsky's sketches and lithos, works by Malevich from Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum which have not been exhibited for years, and works by other artists of the Vitebsk school.

Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven until September 5 .
