Women of My Homeland

Description

Author: Dzhusupov, Ali. 1928-1976
A thematic composition with three seated women in white garments. The monumentality of the figures lends the scene an epic resonance as a collective portrait of woman as guardian of her people. The composition is symmetrical and frontal: the figures form a stable triangle, while the child in the foreground is the focal point. The palette is cool, blue-toned, with a bright accent of the red blanket. The generalized, sculptural silhouettes and flat treatment of space give the scene concise expressiveness.
