The artwork, titled “Fisherman and Wife,” was created by Eduardo Paolozzi in 1946. It belongs to the Cubo-Expressionism art movement and is categorized under the figurative genre.
In the artwork, one can observe the depiction of human figures rendered in an abstract manner, characteristic of the Cubo-Expressionism style. The figures exhibit angular and fragmented forms, combining elements of Cubism and Expressionism. The use of bold lines and shapes creates a dynamic composition, where the fisherman and his wife are depicted with exaggerated features. The color palette utilized includes shades of black, white, and earthy tones of red and brown, lending a stark contrast to the piece. The intricate patterns and textures imparted by the lines are reminiscent of both woodcut techniques and traditional printing methods.
