Frank Stella: Illustrations After El Lissitsky's Had Gadya Series

Stella created a series of 12 lithographs based on the Had Gadya (One Little Goat) prints by the early-20th century Russian-Jewish artist El Lissitsky after being inspired by their movement and the vibrancy of their simplified, graphic forms.

One might not immediately associate Frank Stella (b. 1936), the American painter, sculptor and printmaker noted for his work in the areas of minimalism and post-painterly abstraction with a cumulative, lyrical poem that concludes the traditional Seder, or festive meal, on the Jewish holiday of Passover. Yet he created a series of 12 lithographs based on the Had Gadya (One Little Goat) prints by the early-20th century Russian-Jewish artist El Lissitsky after being inspired by their movement and the vibrancy of their simplified, graphic forms.
