Obrosov Igor Pavlovich (1930-2010) ”Landscape with a white horse”, 1980s, Hardboard, tempera, 50x55 cm. - ”Landscape with a White Horse” is a mature work by Igor Obrosov, where the real motive turns into an image-state. The space is laconically and compactly constructed: the wide plane of the earth and the low horizon line create a feeling of silence and length, and the rare accents of form set the inner rhythm of the composition. The white horse becomes a semantic center — not a genre detail, but a sign of the presence of life in an almost deserted, contemplative world. This motif is perceived symbolically.: as a memory, as a bright spot that holds attention in a space where the atmosphere and pause are more important than the plot. The tempera on the hardboard enhances the feeling of wholeness: the matte surface and the density of the paint layer emphasize tonal transitions and clarity of color relations. The work gives the impression of a calm, ”inner” painting — with an exact measure between the decorative plane and the depth of experience. Igor Pavlovich Obrosov (1930-2010). Painter, teacher. Full member of the Russian Academy of Arts (1997). People's Artist of the RSFSR (1983). Laureate of the USSR State Prize (1989) and the State Prize of the Russian Federation (2000).
