Description |
English: The photographic image was itself produced by superimposing two separate photographs : The Architects Equipment (showing El Lissitzky's hand holding a compass against graph paper with an arching line) and his Self Portrait, both taken in 1924 while Lissitzky was recovering from tuberculosis in a Swiss sanatorium. The resulting image fuses the artist's head, hand and tools. Large printed letters 'XYZ' appear in the top left hand portion of the image. |

Short title | Konstrukteur, Selbstporträt mit zirkel |

Image title | Gesamtansicht - Dieses Selbstbildnis gehört zu den bekanntesten Arbeiten Lissitzkys und ist zugleich ein Programmbild für sein Schaffen. Es wird manchmal auch als "Der Konstrukteur" betitelt, weil es dessen Insignien zeigt: den Zirkel, Millimeterpapier, eine gegliederte Bildfläche, den Einsatz von typografischen Elementen - das Fotoporträt durchdringt mit diesen Elementen einen geistigen Arbeitsraum. Selbst das Jahr 1924 ist bedeutungsvoll: John Heartfield produziert mit "Väter und Söhne 1924" seine erste politische Fotomontage, Lissitzky gibt mit Kurt Schwitters das Heft "Nasci" der Zeitschrift "Merz" heraus, er stößt mit seiner Fotomontage für eine Pelikan-Werbung auf ein neues Gestaltungsgebiet vor. Gleichzeitig gewinnt das Selbstbildnis etwas bekennend Analytisches, da Lissitzky an Tuberkulose erkrankt ist und oft nur liegend zeichnen oder eben montieren kann. Davon abgesehen, besticht die Arbeit durch ihre ästhetische Vielschichtigkeit und durch Tiefe, mit der hier ein Künstler seine Existenz poetisch begründet. |
