About the work
Museum text in Russian
На рубеже двух десятилетий, как и многие современники, художник ощутил самоценность чистого карандашного рисунка, создав в этой технике тонко «выделанные» листы серии «Времена года» (1919) (см. « Осень» РС-789 ; « Зима», РС-1872 ), « Летний пейзаж с женскими фигурами » (после 1917).
