DESCRIPTION
German school; mid-twentieth century.
Untitled.
Oil on canvas.
Signed in the lower right corner "Bara".
Measurements: 41 x 33 cm; 58 x 49 cm (frame).
The human figure becomes the vehicle of an intense psychological exploration, where the expressive deformation prevails over any naturalistic intention. The character, captured in the gesture of drinking directly from a glass, appears constructed through a loose and nervous brushstroke, which decomposes the volumes and accentuates a sense of physical instability.
The pictorial matter, applied with freedom, reveals the trace of the gesture and places the work in the orbit of Central European expressionism, where the figure is not represented, but "lives" through the painting. In this sense, echoes of artists such as Emil Nolde or Max Beckmann can be found in his ability to translate the everyday into an experience charged with inner tension.
