June. Forest

author

Yury Annenkov

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The State Tretyakov Gallery (Russia).

The canvas in the cubo-futurist style has not lost the depth of space but is associated with works of Impressionists thanks to the abundance of light. Pink and white irregular geometric shapes wedge into shades of green and blue, complementing the overall harmony of colour solutions. Following his logic, the author realistically depicted a bird in the foreground and a squirrel at the very top of the tree. The fact that this is an inhabited park is indicated not only by two male figures but also the inscription “Katya” and a heart cut on a tree trunk.
