The Boulevard

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: the Collection of Contemporary Italian Art (London, the UK).

The painting in the style of cubism indicates the artist’s clear interest in the issues of dynamics in painting. In the artist’s work, the boulevard filled with walking people turns into a colourful kaleidoscope where trees, horses and people mixed in a single festive mood. The light falling on the street from above is presented in the form of diagonal lines that clearly delineate the space of the canvas. The composition of the picture is unusually balanced, which is an individual feature of the author’s work present in many of his later paintings.
