The artwork titled “Empty Road (Orange/Red)” was created by Howard Finster in 1985. It belongs to the Art Brut movement and is classified within the figurative genre.
The artwork predominantly features an orange and red color scheme, with intricate white line drawings and text densely filling the composition. It portrays a fantastical landscape with various figurative elements such as mountains, buildings, and trees, interspersed with scripture-like writings. The use of strong contrasts between the orange/red background and the detailed white illustrations creates an eye-catching and dynamic visual experience. The numerous inscriptions and symbols embedded within the artwork suggest it conveys various narratives and messages, characteristic of Finster’s uniquely visionary and folk-art style.
