The artwork titled “Feelings” was created by Dana Schutz in 2003 and is part of the Neo-Expressionism art movement. This genre is a portrait, emphasizing vivid emotions and expression through abstracted figures and bold, intense colors.
The artwork portrays a figure rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes emphasizing a blending of strong, contrasting colors. The subject’s face consists of vibrant hues and abstract forms, portraying deep emotion through a distorted representation. The use of thick, textured layers of paint and exaggerated features aligns with the Neo-Expressionist style, seeking to convey an intense, emotional experience rather than realistic depiction. The overall composition captures the viewer’s attention through its dynamic and emotive quality, characteristic of Dana Schutz’s bold approach to portraiture.
