Port

Brief description

Fragment of a pier with two coastal lighthouses. The landscape belongs to a series of maritime landscapes of R. Selsky made during his trips in the 1930s in the Baltic Sea to the fishing village of Hel, near the Polish city of Gdańsk. The work, like those of the other painters of that period, is marked by the influence of the ideas of constructivism and the poetics of metaphysical surrealism.
