About Oze's room

The artwork, entitled “Oze’s Room,” was created by Nicholas Roerich in 1912. Belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement, this piece falls under the genre of design.

The artwork depicts an interior room rendered in a monochromatic palette using shades of grey. The focal point is a bed, starkly delineated against the hue of the room’s walls and floors, giving a sense of simplicity and austerity. Adjacent to the bed, a window allows light to filter into the room, illuminating other pieces of furniture including a plain table and, what appears to be, a draped fixture possibly signifying another bed or structure within the same space. The linear lines and shading confer depth and perspective, while the minimalistic design attests to the era’s stylistic influences. The overall ambience evoked by the artwork is one of quietude, encapsulating the room’s serene and solitary atmosphere.
