Primitive heads 1924

"Primitive Heads" is a 1924 painting by Belgian artist Constant Permeke (1886–1952). This painting is a characteristic example of Permeke's expressionist style, known for its thick impasto and bold brushstrokes. The two stylized heads are depicted in a simplified, almost primitive manner, conveying a sense of raw emotion and intensity. Permeke's work often focused on themes of human suffering and the harsh realities of everyday life, making "Primitive Heads" a powerful example of his artistic vision.
