We've just returned from three weeks in Italy, including time in Venice, which has got to be my favorite place to visit. Among many other treats, we spent an afternoon with the Peggy Guggenheim Collection of twentieth-century art. In addition to a special exhibit of Italian modernist Edmondo Bacci (which I hope to blog about), I was really happy to see works by two Russian contemporaries: Kazimir Malevich and El Lassitzky. I've written about each of them (see this blog post for a synopsis). I had not seen these paintings before, even in photos. Below: Malevich, Untitled (1916) and Lissitzky, Untitled (1919).
