River Landscape 1964

"River Landscape" is a 1964 painting by Croatian artist Ivan Generalic (1914-1992). The work depicts a serene scene of a river winding through a lush landscape. The flat, simplified forms and bright colors are characteristic of Generalic's style, often referred to as "naive art". The painting is populated with charming details: two figures fishing, a pair of cows, a heron, and a small house nestled in the trees. Generalic's work is celebrated for its vibrant depiction of rural life and its joyful, optimistic aesthetic.
