This painting is the central piece among artist's works. It was created during the first Russian revolution. In its raging red color theme can be seen at once a hope for a spiritual revival and presentiment of destructive force rampage. The forms and colors overwhelm each other, creating internal tensions. This effect enhances the expressiveness of the painting created at the crossroads of various styles and trends - Impressionism and Modernism.
