In the Window 

Rudolf Bér created 'In the Window' using oil paint, a medium associated with the European tradition and the rise of the artist as a skilled individual. The visible brushstrokes show the artist's hand and creative agency. Unlike mass-produced objects, this painting bears witness to the intimate engagement between the artist and his materials. Bér uses expressive lines, which gives the impression of spontaneity. This is not mass production, it is human labor. The thickness of the paint contributes to the texture of the painting, adding a tactile dimension. Bér uses strong contrast between light and dark. This adds visual interest to the painting but also creates a sense of tension. By considering the materials, techniques, and social context of 'In the Window', we can gain a deeper appreciation of its artistic and cultural value.
