Head 1911

"Head" is a 1911 painting by American artist Albert Bloch, known for his distinctive Expressionist style. The work depicts a close-up portrait of a figure with a sorrowful expression, their hands clasped together in a gesture of prayer or contemplation. The figure's head is framed by a vibrant swirl of red hair and an equally colorful background, characteristic of Bloch's use of bold, evocative colors. Bloch, a key figure in the early 20th century art scene, produced numerous works exploring themes of emotion and psychological states, making "Head" a significant example of his artistic vision.
