Composition. Still Life with a Decanter 1959

Valerii Lamakh's 1959 "Composition. Still Life with a Decanter" exemplifies the artist's bold, abstract style. The painting, characterized by a dynamic interplay of geometric forms and vibrant colors, reflects the influence of Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. Lamakh's dynamic brushstrokes and gestural application of paint create a sense of energy and movement, transforming a traditional still life subject into a powerful and engaging abstract composition. The vivid yellow, brown, and white tones create a striking visual contrast, further enhancing the artwork's dynamic qualities.
