Verified profile

The painting opens up in depth through the perspective of a dusty road, from which emerge the silhouette of a vehicle pulled by two horses and the figures of as many peasants returning from the labors of the fields that stretch out all around. Contrasted by a few isolated elements - the sun now half hidden behind the high horizon, the crow in flight, the scattered clouds and the bollards on the edge - the exasperated symmetry of the composition establishes a perfect correspondence between the right and left side of the canvas, letting your gaze oscillates on the central masses, one light and the other dark, of the animals that are reflected along the vertical axis of the picture. The broad brushstrokes directed to suggest movement are enriched by a dense surface texture of tiny fractions of blue, red and yellow, to recreate the perception of brown in the retina - and in the sky - whose pink background sparkles with complementary greenish lights thanks to a more sparse warping of blue and yellow dots exploded by the dying sun. Nodal work of the artist's entire career.
