Samal

Description

Author: Ilyaev, Sultan. 1954
A decorative composition consisting of two large planes - the light-blue sky and the yellowish-ochre land with a soft semicircle of a purple lake below. They are divided by a narrow horizontal band - the horizon with schematically indicated small houses inside. “Floating” across the sky and water are their “inhabitants” - a large stylized bird and two small fish with bodies made of bright, colorful “mosaic” fragments. Shimmering with light, they evoke a bright, joyful mood and impart a distinct expressiveness to the painting.
