Platter Platter
This is a platter. It was attributed to El Lissitzky. It is dated ca. 1923 and we acquired it in 2015. Its medium is earthenware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Russian Constructivist El Lissitzky spent much of his time in Germany in the early to mid-1920s. The design for this earthenware charger features strong geometrical patterns and the contrasting red and black favored by Constructivists and members of the De Stijl movement, to which Lissitzky was closely linked.
