Jurassic 1942

"Jurassic" (1942) by Willi Baumeister is a prime example of Abstract Expressionism. This painting is characterized by its bold, gestural brushstrokes and use of color to create a sense of movement and energy. The work's title suggests a connection to prehistoric times, with the organic shapes evoking fossils or geological formations. Baumeister's work, which often explored themes of nature and the cosmos, is a testament to the artist's profound engagement with the world around him. The artist's use of impasto adds depth and texture, creating a dynamic composition that invites viewers to explore its intricacies.
