The artwork titled “Death Comes To Us All” by Dana Schutz, created in 2003, is a piece associated with the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls under the figurative genre.
In the artwork, Dana Schutz employs bold and vigorous brushstrokes to create a figure that is at once abstract and representational. The central figure stands with a significant presence, rendered in vibrant, saturated hues. Comprising an amalgamation of various geometric shapes and seemingly disjointed elements, the figure evokes a sense of fragmentation and complexity. The background is equally dynamic, with a skillful play of colors and light, contributing to the overall intensity and emotional depth of the piece. The abstracted form juxtaposed with a somewhat recognizable human element compels the viewer to ponder the themes of mortality and existential reflection inherent in the title “Death Comes To Us All.”
