Evening walk

 The Evening Walk is an example of the early work of Leopold Levitsky and represents the Krakow cycle (1931–1935). This work, also known as “City and the Hungry”, was created under the influence of late cubism and surrealism. Despite the story's multilayered nature, it is still a genre composition of social content with elements of allegory. The author shows two different worlds - the poor and the rich. The man of the 1930s found himself in the difficult circumstances of unconditional responsibility for his own life choices. The artist portrayed a binary opposition to confronting "good" and "evil" by contrasting generalized images.
