The MAH houses a remarkable collection of graphic works by the Russian avant-garde, an influential current of modern art that encompassed several artistic movements, such as Suprematism. Among the major figures of the Russian avant-garde, Lazar Markovitch Lissitzky (1890-1941), known as El Lissitsky, stayed in Switzerland, more precisely in Ticino, in 1924-1925. To mark the occasion of his stay in Switzerland, the MAH has joined forces with the Museo Villa dei Cedri in Bellinzona. While the latter is presenting an exhibition focusing on the links between El Lissitzky and Switzerland, the MAH is presenting El Lissitzky and the Russian avant-garde. The MAH exhibition examines the different facets of this avant-garde, with El Lissitzky's purification of form contrasting with the more expressionist gestures of Ol'ga Rozanova (1886-1918), another representative of the Russian avant-garde. Both distance themselves from their "master" Kasimir Malevich (1879-1935), creator of Suprematism. This approach allows us to take a fresh look at this collection, highlighting its richness while at the same time highlighting this exceptional artistic heritage.
