This is a drawing from 1917 by El Lissitzky, showing a synagogue in Vitebsk, in present-day Belarus. It is catalogued under the Great Synagogue in Vitebsk and belongs to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The work is a record of a building in the town in that year, and it sits among other images of Vitebsk made by artists. Lissitzky is better known as an avant-garde figure who helped develop suprematism, but this drawing offers a more direct, architectural subject.
On your wall: Its architectural subject and drawn, understated character suit studies, hallways, libraries and calm living spaces where a considered, quiet piece is welcome.

El Lissitzky was a Russian and Soviet artist who worked as a painter, illustrator, designer, printmaker, photographer and architect. A significant figure of the avant-garde, he helped develop suprematism alongside his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and went on to design many exhibition displays and propaganda works for the Soviet Union.
