In 1924&ndash;25, he spent several months at a sanatorium in the Swiss canton of Ticino to treat his pulmonary tuberculosis. Despite the illness, he created key works in his oeuvre during this time, spanning fields of architecture, graphic design and typography, and fine art. Together with Jean Arp, he wrote the book <em>Die Kunstismen<\/em> (&ldquo;The Artisms&rdquo;), which was published by a Swiss publishing house in 1925 and became a milestone in the evolution of New Typography and graphic art in Switzerland. He also contributed to the Swiss architecture magazine <em>ABC, Beitr&auml;ge zum Bauen<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A century later, this book takes a fresh look at El Lissitzky from the perspective of his host country at the time, arranged in thematic chapters about architecture, typography, and graphic design, Lissitzky as an artist and theorist, and his relationship to Switzerland. The illustrations bring together for the first time all the important works by the great avant-gardist in the collections of Swiss museums, including parts of a previously unpublished portfolio held at the Musee d&rsquo;art et d&rsquo;histoire in Geneva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first survey of El Lissitzky&rsquo;s relationship to Switzerland and the reception of his work in this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":67062,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5568],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-67061","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-edited-by-carole-haensler","8":"publisher-scheidegger-und-spiess-ag-verlag","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>El Lissitzky and Switzerland - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: El Lissitzky and Switzerland, Pages: 160 Pages, Publish Date: 13th Apr 2026, Author: Edited by Carole Haensler, ISBN: 9783039422906.
