Aristarkh Lentulov Palette 2

Palette Analysis

The value structure of Aristarkh Lentulov is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Aristarkh Lentulov tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #21202F at 33.2% - sets the character of the whole composition. At 5.4%, #E8E3BF carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 67 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Aristarkh Lentulov's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
