Heads 1963

"Heads" is an abstract artwork created by Vilen Barsky in 1963. Barsky, born in 1930 and active until his death in 2012, was known for his use of bold, expressive lines and shapes. The painting is characterized by its contrasting dark and light tones, with a dominant black background punctuated by bright gold and yellow forms. These forms, reminiscent of heads or faces, are layered and partially obscured, suggesting a sense of depth and mystery. This work reflects Barsky's abstract expressionist style, which emphasizes emotion and subjective experience.
