Lake Burabay

Description

Author: Dzhusupov, Ali. 1928-1976
A landscape with a lake in the foreground and a range of hills and mountains in the distance. The composition is horizontal, built on three planes: the water’s surface, the dark green silhouette of the hills, and the bluish peaks of the mountains on the horizon. The palette is restrained, silvery-blue, with soft tonal transitions from water to sky. Light, sparse brushwork and generalized modeling of forms convey the aerial haze and the separation of the planes from one another. Bottom right - signature and date.
