Description

Author: Aitbayev, Salikhitdin. 1938-1994
A genre-symbolic composition depicting two stylized animal figures against a simplified landscape. The forms are highly generalized and geometrized. The composition is compact, emphasizing the interaction of forms and masses. The space is treated conventionally, reduced to large color planes of earth and sky. The color palette is contrasting, based on a combination of warm ochre-brown and cool blue tones. The painterly manner is defined by sharp edges, a planar approach, and decorative stylization.
