The current owner bought the work from the artist's studio.

Milan Konjović was born in Sombor in 1938, where he also died in 1993. He studied in Prague, at the Academy of Fine Arts, but did not graduate. He is a painter with emphasized color and energetic strokes, expressions close to German expressionists. This landscape from 1964 has all the characteristics of Konjović's mature phase. A simplified and expressive landscape with a windlass, a crane used for extracting water from wells indicated in just a few strokes on the right side of the painting, suggest a scene from the Pannonian regions, namely Vojvodina where the painter lived. The horizontals suggest a landscape, and the whole scene seems to be painted quickly, like a caught impression of the moment. Such Pannonian landscapes, without much artistic elaboration and with emphasized expressive potential of strokes and colors, are characteristic of Milan Konjović's painting. FG
