The artwork titled “After Eruption of the Hessian Skittles” was created by Konrad Zuse in 1982. It is an oil painting that falls under the Kitsch art movement and represents a landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a vibrant, otherworldly landscape dominated by a central volcanic eruption. The sky is a swirling mix of pastel hues, ranging from deep blues to bright yellows and pinks, giving an impression of dawn or dusk. The smoke from the eruption forms an elegant, ribbon-like structure that contrasts with the dynamic color palette of the sky. The foreground shows a flowing terrain, where hints of settlements are painted in rapid, impressionistic strokes. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and vivid coloration, capturing an ethereal moment of natural upheaval and beauty.
