The painting depicts the District The Montwiłł Mirecki housing estate in Łódź, where the artist lived. It is considered a urbanistic gem of the modernist concept of art and architecture. Strzemiński employs visual reduction of forms, using geometric shapes and sharp lines to capture modernist architecture. The composition of the painting is carefully balanced, and colors are reduced to a basic palette, adding coherence and harmony.
In 2016, Bogusław Linda portrayed Strzemiński in the film "Afterimage." This was Andrzej Wajda's final work.
