| 5. “This is one of my first paintings, 'I and the Village.' I painted this the year after I moved to Paris, during the time I felt most homesick for Russia. In the painting I included lots of scenes from Vitebsk and the area around it. The line from the peasant’s eyes to the cow’s represents the dependence they had on one another, and the sprig the peasant is holding is the result of that partnership. I tried not only to paint the people and the landscapes ,but also to show what they meant to the people in the village. I painted using my own style, and I enjoyed doing so.” |
