Roofs 1923

"Roofs" (1923) by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin is a striking black and white drawing that captures the essence of urban life. The artist's use of stark lines and shading creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the narrow, crowded streets. Petrov-Vodkin's signature style is evident in the almost geometric rendering of the buildings, emphasizing their architectural form. This work exemplifies his interest in exploring the interplay between urban space and human activity.
