Cover of Wendingen, volume 4, no. 11, designed by El Lissitzky (1921). This 18-page issue, edited by Hendrik Wijdeveld, was devoted to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright (Tokyo Hotel). The cover ist letterpress with a lithographed interior. MoMA also attributes the interior to El Lissitsky and it carries a strong influence of the De Stijl design (the Dutch branch of Constructivism). El Lissitzky’s little symbol can be found on the lower right corner of the front cover.
