Moscow. Spring Window

Technique: Canvas, oil.
Size: 90 × 80 cm.

“Moscow. Spring Window” belongs to Boris Domashnikov’s Moscow cycle; the artist was one of the leading landscape painters whose work is associated with the “Severe Style”. He worked in the genre of so-called “pure landscape”, in which the subject recedes before the task of conveying a personal, intimate experience of the motif. This view of the old city, seen through a spring window, is rendered in dense, decoratively resonant colour with the radiance of white so characteristic of the master. Domashnikov’s works are held in the Tretyakov Gallery and a number of other museum collections.
