Fauvism Experience.
According to the artist, the painting "River Bend" is an attempt to grasp the experience of Fauvism and echo the reflections of the great master - André Derain. Artist Anatoli Gostev adjusted forms and contrasts, completely filling the canvas space with the atmosphere of early autumn. Working with the color palette on "River Bend" was particularly captivating for the artist. After completing the work on the painting, he satisfactorily hung it on the wall opposite his bed, where he slept. Here's what he once said about the painting:
I was just fantasizing, looking at how it... So I was writing for myself, to learn that. When I just wake up and start opening my eyes, I see a beautiful spot that immediately determines my day as pleasant. Derain would have liked it.
- Anatoli Gostev
Impression of the Painting.
The painting "River Bend," executed in the style of Fauvism inspired by André Derain, reflects the beginning of autumn, where vibrant yellow and red shades of trees contrast with still-green leaves. Every element interacts, creating the harmony of the autumn landscape. The expressive use of colors and lines creates a bright mosaic that harmoniously conveys the atmosphere of early autumn with the curve of the purple river and two human figures. The purple river, winding along the painting, adds visual interest and depth to the terrain. A male figure leans against a tree, while at a short distance, a woman seems to lie in the air or is also leaning against another tree.
The figures add additional meaning to the painting, possibly symbolizing unity with nature or a moment of inner reflection. This picturesque landscape invites the viewer into a serene space of early autumn, filling it with a sense of tranquility and reminiscence.
