Twilight 1900

"Twilight" is a 1900 pastel drawing by Russian artist Mstislav Dobuzhinsky. Known for his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement, Dobuzhinsky's work is characterized by its use of line, color, and form. This particular piece depicts a shadowy figure seated before a window, highlighting the ethereal beauty of twilight and the subtle contrasts of light and darkness. Dobuzhinsky's use of pastel allows for a delicate and expressive rendering of the subject, evoking a sense of mystery and introspection. The muted tones and elongated forms contribute to the overall mood of the piece, making it a compelling example of Dobuzhinsky's artistic vision.
