THE CONE OF SURPRISE, LAURENTIEV’S CONE AND OTHER FIGURES_author Boris Laurentiev

This is the only still life which contains, besides the cone of surprise, a kind of joke - Laurentiev’s cone. It shares the main principle of the whole series - extensionality of objects with still plane picture. It is achieved through composition, the plasticity of pictorial surface, its texture and ornamentality.
