| Reverse description | The reverse presents a color reproduction of a fragment from the painting 'Forbidden Zone' (1993), one of eleven works comprising Savitsky's celebrated 'ЧОРНАЯ БЫЛЬ' (Chornaya Byl / Black Past) series created between 1986 and 1998, which depicts the human tragedy of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The image is rendered in the artist's characteristic dark, expressionistic palette, conveying the somber subject matter with striking emotional intensity. Beneath the central pictorial field, the inscription 'М. САВІЦКІ' appears along with the artist's birth and death years '1922–2010', serving as a tribute to his life and work. |
