Fantasy 1925

"Fantasy" (1925), a painting by Russian artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, depicts a rider on a brilliant red horse leaping over a small village. The vivid red of the horse contrasts with the cool blue tones of the landscape, creating a dramatic and surreal effect. The painting’s fantastical elements are influenced by the artist's interest in folk tales and mythology. Petrov-Vodkin's works often feature stylized figures and a strong sense of symbolism, reflecting his unique artistic vision and his connection to the Russian cultural heritage. This painting exemplifies his exploration of the intersection of the real and the imaginative.
