Düblin, Jacques - Malerei, Strasse in Oberwil

About this work

This painting shows a loose, brushy scene of a street corner. A small tree stands near a low fence, with a sidewalk stretching toward a building in the background. The colors are muted—greens, grays, and a bit of red—with thick, uneven strokes that make it look like it was painted quickly. The brushwork is especially bold, with paint piled up in places. That’s called *impasto*, where artists use thick layers to create texture. If you like this style, look up technique: impasto.
