EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Fortresses," a captivating chromolithograph by Dmitriy Stakhievich Moor, transports us back to the 1920s with its evocative depiction of two ancient fortresses nestled within a verdant landscape. The artist's masterful use of color and composition invites us to ponder the rich history and cultural significance of these architectural marvels. Moor's intricate lithograph, titled "Dve kreposti" in Russian, showcases the fortresses' imposing stone walls, which have stood the test of time, their beige hues softened by the lush green surroundings. The fortresses, symbols of defense and protection, appear to be in a state of peaceful coexistence, their silhouettes framed by the blue sky above. This stunning work of art is a testament to the enduring allure of historical architecture and the human desire to preserve the past. It is a reminder of the heritage and traditions that have shaped our world, and the importance of preserving them for future generations. The chromolithograph was created by Moor in 1922 and is part of the Manuscripts and Archives Division of the New York Public Library. It was published by Fleming Harold Manchester, an American relief administration that played a significant role in providing aid to Europe after World War I. The image is a beautiful example of the chromolithograph technique, which involves the use of multiple lithographic plates to create a multicolored print. Moor, a Russian artist, was known for his detailed and meticulous work, and "Two Fortresses" is a prime example of his artistic prowess. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of historical or architectural art, and its timeless beauty continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
