Landscape 1970

This landscape painting was created by Hryhorii Havrylenko, though the exact date is unknown. It's a study in muted tones and atmospheric perspective. The composition is divided horizontally, with the upper two-thirds depicting a hazy sky and distant land, fading into a soft horizon. In the foreground, the artist uses layered brushstrokes of green, yellow, and brown to define the dense foliage. These strokes create a tactile quality, contrasting with the smoother, blended treatment of the sky and land. The painting's structure invites contemplation on the nature of perception. The soft focus and limited palette reduce detail, emphasizing the overall impression of a landscape rather than a specific place. This aesthetic choice reflects a broader philosophical concern with subjective experience. Havrylenko’s technique invites us to consider how we construct meaning through our senses.
