Zelfira Tregulova, General Director of the State Tretyakov gallery: "El Lissitzky — is the major figure in the artistic culture of the twentieth century. His work is extremely popular in the West, unfortunately, not very well known in Russia. This exhibition provided the first opportunity to understand the domestic audience that made Lisicki, to see how he worked with the ideas of Malevich, whose student was at some point, created distinctive art direction and own artistic works. Lissitzky brought the ideas of Malevich in three-dimensional space, moving from a flat Suprematist compositions to three-dimensional structure. This is largely determined by the aesthetics of European and world architecture of the twentieth century. The role of the artist in the history of photography, poster and advertising, in the history of exhibition design is difficult to overestimate all that was done in these areas since the 1920-30-х years owes a great deal to Lissitzky. For the first time the modern viewer, you receive the opportunity to evaluate it and to think about the most important topic — of the relationship of the artist and authority — and to understand how it was possible, working in the system of public procurement to promote the most daring artistic ideas."

Alexander Boroda, General Director of the Jewish Museum and tolerance center: "For us as a young Museum is very important this joint project with the Tretyakov gallery. And not coincidentally the reason for our creative Union was the exhibition El Lissitzky. The theme of the avant-garde — is one of the key for our Museum, and El Lissitzky — is one of the main Russian and European avant-garde. A Jew by nationality, he was born in Russia and became famous all over the world.

Hope that you can visit both parts of the exposition. The exhibition covers all periods and aspects of creative ways Lissitzky. It was very interesting and for those who have been familiar with his work, and for those who just discover his name in the art".
