The Former Feather-Grass Steppe

Description

Author: Ismailov, Aubakir. 1913-1999
A panoramic landscape depicting an endless plain covered with dense golden wheat, stretching towards distant mountain ranges. Above it stretches a high sky, veiled in a light haze. From the depths of the foreground, a narrow winding road leads to the horizon, along which two trucks adorned with red flags are moving. On the horizon rises a solitary mountain massif, the bluish-blue outlines of which are softened by atmospheric haze. The succinctness of the composition, the soft golden hue of the ripening wheat, and the emphasized desolation of the plain enhance the sense of space and silence, imparting a restrained, contemplative resonance to the landscape. In the lower right corner, there is a signature and date.
