Development of a Theme in Red; Carnival 1914

"Development of a Theme in Red; Carnival" is an abstract painting by Jules Schmalzigaug, created in 1914. Schmalzigaug, who was a German artist, is known for his bold and expressive use of color. The work features a swirling, dynamic composition of thick strokes of red, yellow, blue, and white paint, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The vibrant colors and gestural brushwork contribute to the feeling of a lively carnival scene. This abstract piece is a strong example of Schmalzigaug’s artistic approach and the expressionistic art movement of the early 20th century.
