Potato Picking 1940

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan’s 1940 watercolor painting "Potato Picking" depicts a stylized, abstract scene of figures harvesting potatoes. The artist's use of bold, gestural strokes in black and yellow creates a dynamic and energetic composition. The figures are barely recognizable, their forms dissolving into the landscape, suggesting the arduousness of the task and the importance of the harvest. This piece exemplifies Weisz-Kubínčan's focus on capturing the essence of everyday life through expressive brushwork and a simplified, almost symbolic visual language.
