nice diggity, just ran a search on him and found some great stuff [paintings].. was he a designer as well?

he ran with lisitzky and that russian crew. i think he did some typographic stuff along the lines of lisitzky. saw all that shit at the moma and remembered my modern art classes from college.

man i really wish i had a decent knowledge of art history... im only just starting to get into it.. really fascinating stuff. and so important as a designer to know where our influences have come from, and where their influences came from, etc...

cheers diggity. i'm trying my hardest to just leave it alone [the cover] so it stands out due to its simplicity.
