Swearing to the right 1912

"Swearing to the right", painted in 1912, is a work by Ferdinand Hodler, a Swiss Symbolist artist, that depicts a single figure in a dynamic pose against a plain grey background. Hodler was known for his use of strong lines and simplified forms, which are evident in this work. The elongated figure, rendered in bold colors, creates a sense of movement and energy. The artwork, measuring 48.6 x 34.7 cm, is an example of Hodler's fascination with the human form and his exploration of Symbolism in art.
