Life and career

Lissner was born in the family of the merchant Ernest-Konstantin Antonovich Lissner (1837 – after 1897), who came from the Russified Austrian nobility. His father owned a well-known printing house on the Arbat, in which prestigious orders were executed.

Between 1900 and 1908 he studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg. [1] His graduate work was a painting named Greetings to you, heroes of labor. From 1909 he participated in Art exhibitions, being an exhibitor and member of various associations of visual artists and art societies, such as the Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions, the Society of Artists Free Arts (1911–1918), and others.

After the October Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Civil War, Lissner continued to work as painter, and also actively took part in the turbulent social and artistic life of the first decade of the Soviet Union. In the 1920s he became a member of Moscow groups and associations of soviet artists, such as Art to working people (1925–1928), Wing (1926–1928), and the Repin Society of painters (1924–1929). [2]

He was born in Kiev, modern-day Ukraine, to an ethnic Polish family. His concept of Suprematism sought to develop a form of expression that moved as far as possible from the world of natural forms (objectivity) and subject matter in order to access "the supremacy of pure feeling" and spirituality.
