This painting is a messy, rough mix of colors and shapes. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, with reds, browns, and blacks clashing together. You can barely make out some human figures buried in the chaos—some standing, some holding objects, all blurred by the heavy paint. The title, *23 august 1944*, might hint at a specific moment, but the painting itself feels more like raw emotion than a clear scene. The paint is layered so thick in spots that it almost looks like it was slapped on. If you like this style, check out impasto—it’s the technique of using thick paint like this artist did.
