    "Monuments of the Future" : Designs by El Lissitzky

    The Getty Research Institute has mounted a Web site devoted to the life and work of the Russian artist El Lissitzky (189
    -1941), one of the great avant-garde figures of the 20th century. Based on collections held at the Getty Research Libra y, "Monuments of the Future : Designs by El Lissitzky" (www.getty.edu/gri/digital/lissitzky) contains images of Lissitzk
    's work in typography, book design, exhibition design, and photography.

    The site features a chronology of El Lissitzky's life, more than 175 images (available both as thumbnails and JPEGs), an
     a scrolling image of a foldout montage published in an exhibition catalogue of 1928. The site also includes links to r lated Research Institute holdings and external resources. The chronology and text of the site, which was curated by Get y Research Institute Collections Curator Nancy Perloff, are available for downloading and printing as PDF files.

    The site is available in both the common HTML format, and in an enhanced Flash version that requires a plug-in. "Monumen s of the Future: Designs by El Lissitzky" can be found at: www.getty.edu/gri/digital/lissitzky.
