Online links to sites on El Lissitzky
- Excellent site on
Russian Constructivist
Typography from Hong-ik Univ. dept. of visual communication design.
Beautifully presented, with 16 works, on separarate pages to load quickly.
Unfortunately, this site is in Korean! The years can be read, sometimes
a title is in English, but the overall design here is so well done,
and certainly worth viewing. But wouldn't it be nice to read! Anyone
out there read Korean to translate?
