Circulate world! 2005

Endre Bartos, who lived from 1930 to 2006, made 'Circulate world!' using what looks like oil paint, but there's no specific date for it. The way the colors crash into each other feels like a dance. You can see Bartos working, adding, and subtracting. It's all about the process. Look at the skirt, the stripes of yellow, red, and then another stripe of yellow, creating a rhythm! I'm wondering how he applied the paint. It’s not super thick, more like he was pushing it around, feeling the canvas underneath. I love the way he didn't try to hide the brushstrokes. It's like he's saying, "Hey, this is a painting, made by a person!" It reminds me a bit of some of the earlier abstract expressionists, like maybe a more playful Kandinsky. But Bartos has his own vibe, a kind of joyful energy. It's not about perfection; it's about the experience of making something, and maybe that's the world that’s circulating.
