"Autumn" (1944) by Croatian artist Ivan Generalic (1914-1992) depicts a rural scene with a farmhouse, two white oxen pulling a cart of wood, and a pair of figures working in the field. The painting showcases Generalic’s distinctive style, characterized by simplified forms, bright colors, and a focus on everyday life. The simplified forms and stylized details are reminiscent of the Naive art movement, which Generalic was associated with. This painting exemplifies his signature style and themes, capturing the beauty of rural life in Croatia.
