City landscape

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Sloboda Museum and Exhibition Center Rozanovsky (Russia).

Thanks to the intense colours, figurative reminiscences in this painting are consumed by pointless independent plans. The absolute geometry is a bright demonstration of what avant-garde could do with the real world. It is not surprising that the Museum Bureau of Moscow, passing the painting to the Sloboda Center in 1919, described it as a “Pointless Composition”. Under this unequivocal name, the work was long-listed in the inventory. The houses with their floors and roofs cannot be distinguished so clearly, although one can even imagine the bright and shadowy side of the street depicted in two angles – a top view and a side view.
