The artwork titled “Avignon dada strip,” created by Georg Baselitz in 2014, is a part of the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls under the figurative genre.
The artwork features a solitary figure rendered in a style characteristic of Neo-Expressionism, marked by its emotional intensity and bold execution. The figure is presented in a distorted manner, upside down, a technique frequently employed by Baselitz to challenge conventional perspectives and evoke a deeper emotional response. The use of thick, impasto layers of paint creates a textured surface, adding to the raw and visceral quality of the piece. The color palette primarily consists of muted tones with occasional highlights, emphasizing the dramatic and somber mood of the figure. The background is stark and dark, providing a strong contrast to the lighter hues of the figure and enhancing the overall impact of the artwork.
