About The Windmill

The artwork titled “The Windmill,” created by the artist known as Wols in 1951, belongs to the Art Informel movement and is categorized under the figurative genre.

In “The Windmill,” one observes a dynamic and abstract representation that embodies the essence of the Art Informel movement, distinguished by its spontaneous and emotive brushstrokes. The windmill, although rendered in a somewhat chaotic and abstract manner, maintains its identifiable structure amidst a backdrop of warm, golden hues and muted greens. The strokes are aggressive and layered, creating a complex interplay of lines and forms that convey movement and energy. This piece encapsulates the innovative and expressive style for which Wols is renowned, using a fusion of seemingly disordered strokes to evoke a sense of structure and fluidity simultaneously. The overall composition is both compelling and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to explore the nuanced details and underlying emotions embedded in the work.
