Two Men (Pavel Filonov, 1938)

By this late date in his life, Filonov was thoroughly disgusted with the system and how he and his art had been trampled upon. I do daresay that it shows in this painting. Unfortunately, Filonov was to die three years later in the Siege of Leningrad of starvation. A sad end to a great artist.
