Resumen:
Tomado de Amazon: "El Lissitzky's first suprematist book is a story about how two squares, one red, one black, transform a world. It is Lissitzky's "scientific romance," an
allegory of the fourth dimension and its effect on the three-dimensional world. When it was first published in Berlin in 1922, About 2 Squares presented a radical rethinking of what a book
was, demonstrating a new way of organizing typography on a page and relating it to visual images. It marked the beginning of a new graphic art and is among the most important publications in
the history of the avant-garde in typography and graphic design." --
Tomado del epílogo: "About two squares is the first visual book for children. It is a multiple object designed as an animated cartoon film and a musical score for speech, which invites the reader to become its actor. The story is that of a future to be invented. Two heroes take on the mission of rebuilding the world. The proposed method is a construction set on the scale of the cosmos. From just the two dimensions of the page. About Two Squares puts the reader in a situation of weightlessness and offers a breathtaking journey through space and time. It was a book of the future when published in 1922, and it remains fascinating today thanks to the impact of its six episodes, where everything is reduced to the necessary and the sufficient: two squares, two main high-contrast colours, a circle, a few parallelepipeds, and a text in telegraphic style, composed without linearity or punctuation. This short, unconventional treatise on typography and composition in six 'constructions', each condensed down to a single page without any pagination other than that created by the graphics, and the explicit aim of familiarizing children of all ages with the most radical art of that period, Suprematism.
