Description

Author: Akanayev, Amandos. 1949
A landscape composition depicting a nighttime courtyard. At the center is an open space with elements of rural life; on both sides are silhouettes of buildings enclosing the space. The composition is based on the contrast between dark masses and a lighter, cool-toned sky. The color palette is restrained, dominated by deep blues and grey-blues. The painterly manner is concise, conveying an atmosphere of quiet and nighttime stillness.
