The artwork titled “Frog” was created by Howard Finster in 1995 and belongs to the Art Brut movement, specifically within the genre of animal painting.
The artwork depicts a vibrant and intricately detailed frog, rendered in a multitude of colors and patterns. Each section of the frog is painted with a distinct hue and design, giving it a mosaic-like appearance. The bold colors and whimsical patterns draw the viewer’s eye, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience. This kaleidoscopic creature is perched atop a rectangular base, which features handwritten text by the artist, adding an additional layer of personal expression and context to the piece. The lively and imaginative depiction is characteristic of Howard Finster’s unique style and reflects the spontaneous and raw emotional quality typical of Art Brut.
