Alexander Konstantinovich Bogomazov. Abstract Composition. 1916 A dynamic composition where a zigzag of lightning separates the opposing spheres and the pattern into genders. The reality of the rural landscape is cut through by clues in the lower case of the work. There, on the right, one of the spheres is a lush crown of a fruitful tree. On the left is a window with a window sill. In the middle: vertical logs of some kind of log house and a fragment of an open window or a perch, or maybe a stretcher. In the lower right corner, the initials of the master and the date: AB, 1916, Kyiv. Gray semi-cardboard, charcoal pencil. 52.4x33.2 cm.
