Bridge (Repetition of composition of 1911) 1911

David Burliuk made this painting, "Bridge (Repetition of composition of 1911)," with visible, expressive brushstrokes. The color palette is bold, with yellows, blues, and greens vying for attention. This painting feels like an ongoing, evolving process. Looking closely, you can see how Burliuk layered the paint, creating a dynamic surface. The blues are particularly intense, applied with a kind of joyous abandon. See how the man falling from the bridge is rendered with loose, almost frantic lines. This area speaks to the artist's hand, the immediacy of his gesture. The texture isn't about refinement; it’s about directness and feeling. Burliuk reminds me of Marsden Hartley, another artist who embraced raw expression and emotional intensity. Both artists teach us that art isn’t about perfect representation but about capturing a feeling, a fleeting moment, or an idea in its most raw and honest form. There's room for endless readings and personal connections here.
