Farewell, 1941

Description

Author: Alchembayev, Sauletay. 1943
Genre composition in which two figures united by a gesture of farewell are depicted in the foreground; along the narrow street are a woman with a child and a column of departing soldiers. The space is constructed through the combination of the elongated street perspective, rural buildings, and a distant hilly landscape. The color palette is restrained; the painterly manner is characterized by tonal unity and soft modeling of form.
