Three in the Landscape

Ivan Radović1917

Two standing naked female figures in a landscape, with their arms outstretched towards each other, form an arch above the man sitting between them, shown up to the knee. The drawing was created during Radović's education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and its development on the foundations of the artistic aesthetics of Paris, as the most important centre of European modernism. It reflects the artist's aspiration to establish the relationship between figures and landscapes, as a hint of constructivist structure and liberation from academic frameworks. The scene is configured without a suggestion of a certain meaning, imbued with accentuated graphics and a certain satire in the interpretation. The figures do not feature a characteristic movement or ordinary action; what the artist suggests is the presence of models and not their action.
