White House

Description

Author: Duysenbayev, Kenzhebay. 1942
A landscape composition depicts a whitewashed house with a dark doorway in the foreground, surrounded by trees and outbuildings. The palette is built on the combination of the light, almost white tone of the façade with the green masses of foliage and the ochre-brown tones of the foreground and fencing. The dense, textured paint application, featuring active brushwork, conveys the effect of daylight and the natural immediacy of the rural landscape.
