Street Scene in Krzemieniec, Circa 1925

Władysław Skoczylas

Available
98 x 67,5 cm Watercolor on strong paper mounted on cardboard
Władysław Skoczylas's work depicts a street scene. In the foreground, merchants stand in front of their shops. The buildings are distinguished by architectures with angular, irregular forms that seem to be in motion.

The composition is organized around a central vertical axis marked by an exterior staircase that balances the composition. The buildings are arranged in successive planes, creating a sense of depth. The oblique lines of the roofs and facades introduce a slight visual tension. Two other figures painted in black are placed at the center of the composition, in the alley. Finally, the building at the back of the composition creates a luminous contrast with the dark buildings of the second plane, which adds depth to this work.

The chromatic palette favors light and harmonious tones, notably with ochre and beiges that unify the entire scene and reinforce the coherence of the volumes. The sky in this work is marked by dark tones, particularly with dark blue and ochre beige, reinforced by a slightly veiled light.

This watercolor is reproduced in the catalog of Władysław Skoczylas's works published in 2015, on page 202 (fig. 176), and is referenced on page 301 (cat. VI. 176)
