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.
Roman Selsky and his wife Margit brought to Ukrainian painting the French model of landscape: when the image of nature includes not only a "portrait of the area" but also the flavor of customs, the specificity of the worldview of local people. The artist translates what he sees into a harmony of colors and plastic lines. In "Entertainment," Roman Selsky turns to naive art: drawing like a child, without details, he depicts a mother teaching a child to play in the sand. The naive image is a new artistic sincerity.
