Garden flowers

author

Vladimir Tatlin

description

Mediums: oil, wood.
Location: The State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg (Russia).

In his late paintings, the artist completely departed from carefully drawn borders, distinct lines and any geometry in general. Instead, they have a mixture of colors, jerky touches – something that was not in his previous paintings, as well as the play with hues. The author, taking up the production work almost the first time, used a variety of strokes, colorful spots, and colored short and wavy lines. Tatlin started using grayish lines and incident light; the whole plot of the painting opens when you go far from it. The flowers forming a graceful bouquet resemble a mosaic with the unexpected blue color of a single flower in the overall alo-terracotta gamma.
