Ryszard Zając (Polish 1929-2016)
“Village Rooftops,” 1970
Expressive impasto village scene rendered in Zając’s signature palette knife technique, the clustered whitewashed houses and ochre-red rooftops cascading down a hillside toward a central square. Heavy, textured strokes build a rhythmic surface, while the muted sky and surrounding hills form a soft atmospheric counterbalance
