Imaginary town. Rainbow. 1935

Konstantin Bogaevsky's 1935 charcoal drawing, "Imaginary Town. Rainbow.", depicts a fantastical urban scene. The artist uses a striking contrast of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and mystery. Silhouetted trees frame a central structure that appears to be a grand, palatial building partially obscured by an ethereal rainbow-like arch. The dreamlike atmosphere suggests a possible utopian setting, inviting viewers to imagine a future where nature and technology coexist harmoniously. The drawing exemplifies Bogaevsky's interest in the interplay of realism and symbolism, a hallmark of his artistic style.
