Columna de figura grotescas 

"Columna de figura grotescas" was made by Wols using the traditional materials of watercolor and paper. Observe how Wols coaxes the medium to its very limit; the bleeding of the colors, the pooling and staining. It's as if the artist wants to see how far he can push the materials before they dissolve into chaos. The image emerges not from careful planning, but from a dialogue with the watery pigments, a process that mirrors the Surrealist interest in automatism. This work resists easy categorization, blurring the line between deliberate artistry and chance. But it's precisely this tension that gives the piece its vitality, reminding us that even in the most abstract forms, the hand of the artist, and the behavior of the materials, are always present.
