Autumn in the Mountains

Description

Author: Lukin, Vladimir. 1952
A mountain landscape executed in a decorative manner. A road lined with bushes extends from the right corner toward the centre, while rounded tree crowns rise on the left, with mountains looming in the distance. The composition centers on the road receding into the depth, leading the eye to the mountain range that bounds the space. The painting style is dense, characterized by impasto brushwork with generalized, decoratively treated forms that shape the volume of foliage and slopes through large color planes. The rich palette rests on a contrast between the deep blue-violet and green tones of the mountains and the warm, golden-ochre and orange accents of the road and treetops. The image is imbued with a sense of decorative resonance and the inner energy of mountain nature.
