Troll 1931

"Troll", painted in 1931 by Boris Grigoriev, depicts a fantastical scene of two young women amidst a lush forest. The painting's vibrant colors and whimsical figures evoke a sense of magical realism, a style popular in early 20th-century Russian art. The composition is dynamic, with the figures positioned asymmetrically, creating a sense of depth and movement. Grigoriev's use of bold brushstrokes and expressive lines lends a distinct sense of energy and emotion to the scene. The painting's subject matter, reminiscent of folklore and fairy tales, invites viewers to engage with the mysterious and enchanting world of the artist's imagination.
