1919
El Lissitzky brings the traditional Passover song 'Had Gadya' to life with explosive energy in this 1919 print. A giant, snarling black dog tumbles through the air, about to pounce on a terrified white and green cat—enacting the verse where the dog bites the cat that ate the goat. The arching Hebrew text frames the action like a stage, blending ancient folk tradition with the bold, geometric style of early Suprematism. This series was Lissitzky's first major graphic work, created in Kiev, marking a fascinating bridge between Jewish heritage and radical modernist art.
