Fire Smoke 1968

"Fire Smoke," a 1968 work by Soviet artist Vilen Barsky, is a striking example of abstract art. The work consists of black and white shapes created by a controlled burning process on paper, resulting in a unique and dynamic composition. The seemingly random shapes, reminiscent of smoke and fire, evoke a sense of energy and movement, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of light and shadow. This powerful piece is a testament to Barsky's innovative approach to artistic expression.
