Study of Clouds
This conversation is connected to Study of Clouds.
A massive cloud fills nearly the entire composition with swirling masses of olive-gray and yellow-gold paint with white edges, set against a deep teal sky visible at the upper right and around the margins. A thin strip of land is just barely visible at the bottom: a dark green-brown horizon line with a streak of rust red. The paint is thick and applied in broad, circular strokes that follow the churning movement of the cloud itself. The surface reads almost as abstract. Krzyżanowski was a Polish painter born in Kremenchuk (now Ukraine), primarily known as a portraitist.Oil on board, 1906.
