This painting shows a person in a bright, patterned jacket with big black, white, and orange shapes. They’re wearing a dark hat tipped forward, covering their forehead. The background is mostly dark, making the colors pop. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the paint was slapped on. The face looks a little off—maybe the artist was playing with how we see things. Want to see more? Check out impasto for how thick paint can change a painting.
