THE CONE OF SURPRISE AND OTHER FIGURES (BLUE)_author Boris Laurentiev

This is one of the most expressive and mysterious paintings in the set. Geometrical figures composing the still life begin to interact with ornamental elements of background like colour phantoms, flickering amidst "real" objects. Thus quite an interesting plastic problem is solved - to combine extensional figures and plane texture of the background in the common "space feast" aura.
