BORIS LAURENTIEV

'Artemis XX Century' Of all five works of this series this one turned out to be the most difficult, I painted it the last. The two meter stretcher remained empty for probably half a year, because the way I visualized the situation of the '200 past years - 100 future years - from the capture of Bastille to the catastrophe in Asia', it was the central part that remained incomprehensible, as a symbol. I couldn't decide - or feel - what was the main thing in that past XX century. |
