“Charging Bull No. 7” is an artwork created by Elaine de Kooning in 1959, associated with the Abstract Expressionism art movement and classified under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork masterfully conveys the raw energy and dynamism characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. It depicts a charging bull through an amalgamation of dynamic brushstrokes and vivacious color schemes. The canvas is adorned with intense hues of blue, red, yellow, and green, which intermingle to create a sense of motion and vigor. The abstract nature of the work elicits a visceral reaction, compelling the viewer to perceive the ferocity and power of the bull, despite its non-literal representation. Elaine de Kooning’s adept use of form and color captures the essence of the scene, evoking a sense of unrestrained energy, and reflecting the artist’s formidable skill in abstract and figurative rendition.
