POMEGRANATE BLOSSOMING AND THE CONE OF SURPRISE_author Boris Laurentiev

Overrichness, fussiness, decorativeness in the splendid and a bit fantastic bouquet: apples, unusual fruits, pomegranate flowers, tight grape bunches and - as opposed to this manneristic feast - a dry composition of distinct, laconic geometrical figures all possessing a definitive, to say "unique", sign - the cone of surprise. Two contrasting elements - luxury and asceticism - co-exist in one plastic unity and compositional harmony.
