Composition 1947

"Composition" is a 1947 abstract painting by the German artist Wols, whose real name was Alfred Wolfgang Schulze. Wols is known for his gestural, spontaneous style, as seen in this work. The composition is a riot of color and texture, characterized by bold strokes and drips of paint. This painting is representative of the abstract expressionist movement, and is a powerful example of Wols' unique artistic vision. The artwork was created in a time when Wols was struggling with addiction and mental health issues. This raw and unfiltered expression of his inner turmoil is evident in his work.
