Street Fight (Fighting police)

Brief description

Considering freedom as a personal acute need of a person, L. Levitsky in graphic works of the 1930s paid considerable attention to the topic of confrontation in society. He brought to the fore the image of a person socially and politically active. This is how "factorialism" appears. Exactly such works include the etiquette "Street Fight", which is sometimes referred to in the literature as "Fighting Workers with the Police" and "Fighting with the Police." This composition represents the Krakow Cycle (1931-1935). There is a version that this work was exhibited in June 1932 at the final pre-diploma exhibition, which had a significant socio-political resonance in Krakow and influenced the artist's life path.
