Description

Author: Yevseyev, Yury. 1933-2008
An industrial landscape executed in a Cubist-Expressionist manner. The composition is built on the contrast between the geometricized volumes of factory structures, smokestacks, and power lines. The palette features a warm ochre-brown scheme with accents of deep red and orange. Forms are rendered in a generalized manner through broad planes, without detailed elaboration. The artwork highlights the theme of the development and transformation of the landscape, characteristic of Soviet industrial painting.
