Dimensions 50.8 x 71.2 cm

David Burliuk created 'A Red Horse', a painting of about 50 by 70 centimeters, using oil on canvas. The vibrant colors and impasto technique create a lively, almost dreamlike scene. Burliuk's use of bold color and simplified forms reflect his engagement with early modernism. The red horse, the focal point, is rendered with thick brushstrokes, giving it a palpable sense of energy. A girl on the left, a windmill in the background, are depicted in a similar style. The composition, though seemingly straightforward, defies traditional perspective, creating a flattened space. This approach aligns with the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century, where artists challenged conventional representation. Burliuk is not just depicting a scene; he is exploring the expressive potential of color and texture. The lack of precise detail pushes the viewer to engage with the painting on a more visceral level. It functions as an embodiment of the artist's subjective experience, offering a glimpse into a world where color and form take precedence over realism.
