Folkdance Melancholia 1989

"Folkdance Melancholia" (1989) by Georg Baselitz is a prime example of the artist's signature style, characterized by upturned figures and a distinct sense of emotional unease. The painting features a chaotic arrangement of red and black shapes against a blue-grey background, evoking a sense of disorientation. The checkered pattern at the bottom suggests a grounded element but is also inverted, adding to the overall feeling of disruption and melancholic mood. The painting is now part of the Tate Modern collection in London, UK.
