About Untitled

The artwork, created by Georg Baselitz in 2015, is an example of the Neo-Expressionism movement and is classified as figurative in genre. Titled “Untitled,” it features a unique and compelling use of mixed media illustrations that are characteristic of Baselitz’s dynamic style.

The artwork is divided into two distinct sections. The left section portrays an abstract image of an inverted human figure with elongated limbs, rendered in black ink lines that intersect a background of alternating smoky grays and soft reds. The use of irregular, gestural strokes imbues the figure with a sense of motion and turmoil, inviting the viewer to contemplate the emotional intensity conveyed through the composition.

The right section features a looser, more playful depiction of a human figure, illustrated with expressive ink lines and dramatic washes of black and gray. The figure appears in a dynamic pose, with one arm outstretched as if caught mid-action, and carries a more whimsical, almost joyful demeanor compared to the left section. The raw, immediate quality of the drawing emphasizes spontaneity and the human touch, hallmarks of the Neo-Expressionist movement. Together, these two contrasting depictions highlight Baselitz’s experimental approach to form and his focus on the expressive potential of the human figure.
