Linden avenue and the monument to Paul I 1922

Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva's 1922 woodcut, "Linden Avenue and the Monument to Paul I," depicts a monument in silhouette against a background of trees and sky. This stylistic choice, characteristic of her work, emphasizes the monument's imposing presence and evokes a sense of historical grandeur. The artist's masterful use of black and white tones creates a striking contrast and adds depth to the composition. This woodcut exemplifies Ostroumova-Lebedeva's mastery of the medium and her keen eye for capturing the essence of a specific place and moment in time.
