Roman Selsky is a central figure of high modernism in Ukraine and the founder of the modern Lviv school of painting. He worked in the fields of easel and graphic art. The author's artistic style reflects the entire evolution of European modernism, from impressionism to abstraction.
In the work "Beach and Black Sea," the trends of Roman Selsky's Parisian period can be traced. Painted in a somewhat naive and simplified manner, the picture adopts the poetics of Dadaism. The artist emphasizes free self-expression and simplicity of the image as a manifestation of sincerity.
