Alfred Kongo "Maastik"


Alfred Kongo kept in shadows whole of his life and his painting influenced a number of artists, but was rarely exposed at exhibitions. Still, Kongo is certainly one of the most significant artists, continuing the pre-war traditions. Being well-known mainly because of his landscapes, Kongo was often extremely scanty, but the present work shows us a different Kongo. His dash has not had the heart to leave a square inch of land to be filled by chance and with emptyness, the whole area has been filled up with colour drifts. Here the artist is also unexpectedly warm, sinking the farmhouse into luscious bright hues. We may only guess that for him it was not only a question about colours.
