The Village of Ozernoye

Description

Author: Baytenov, Mazhit. 1949
A landscape-genre composition depicting a coastal space with buildings and human figures. In the foreground is an open area with a few figures, while in the distance the water surface and mountain silhouettes can be seen. On the right, a canopy structure with figures standing above it is emphasized. The space is constructed through a combination of broad colour planes and freely rendered architectural forms. The painterly manner is free and expressive, characterized by an impasto brushwork texture and attention to conveying the atmosphere of the evening setting.
