Dogs Fighting 1940 - 1944

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan made this painting, called *Dogs Fighting*, with oil on some kind of support - maybe cardboard? The dominant colors are reds and greens, applied in loose, gestural marks. I can imagine the artist, brush in hand, circling and jabbing at the surface, trying to capture the raw energy of a dog fight. There's so much movement, the whole scene is vibrating. I wonder if Kubínčan stepped back, squinting, tilting his head, reassessing with each stroke. Look how the reds and greens mix, creating a sense of depth and chaos, like peering into the thick of it. There is a dialogue happening between the colors and the brushstrokes. The painting is full of life, capturing not just the physical act of fighting, but the emotional intensity, the animalistic drive. It reminds me of some of the early expressionists, Kirchner maybe, grappling with similar themes of urban life and primal instinct. Weisz-Kubínčan is part of this ongoing conversation among artists, trying to make sense of the world, one brushstroke at a time.
