Animal in blue 1983

"Animal in Blue" is a 1983 work by German artist Sigmar Polke. The piece exhibits Polke's signature style of mixing abstract and figurative elements, creating a playful and unpredictable composition. The viewer is drawn into the whirlwind of blue and brown washes, organic shapes, and geometric lines, which together suggest a sense of movement and energy. The stylized animal figures, partially obscured by the abstract forms, add an element of whimsy and surrealism to the work. Polke's use of a variety of materials and techniques, such as watercolor and ink, contributes to the layered and complex nature of the piece.
