Moisey Kogan has devoted a significant part of his artistic career to the study of the countryside, and nowhere is the beauty of a rural setting more evident than in his painting “Winterscape”. Here we see the work of a master architectural landscape painter, as he reveals to us the nobility of shoulder-yoked peasant women carrying water to their humble cottage. With fauve-like colors, the winter landscape comes alive with a poetic vibrancy that is astounding. His work speaks of a simplicity and at the same time a spontaneity that alerts our senses to man's incredibly expressive nature.
