Untitled 1961

"Untitled" is a 1961 work by Vilen Barsky, a Russian artist known for his abstract expressionist style. The artwork depicts two figures intertwined in a passionate embrace, their forms obscured by gestural brushstrokes and contrasting colors. The figures are rendered in a swirling blend of white, blue, and black against a bold red background, creating a sense of both intimacy and emotional intensity. This piece exemplifies Barsky's signature style, utilizing expressive mark-making and bold color palettes to convey emotional depth and the complexities of human relationships.
