About this work

This painting shows a man and a woman in a strange, dreamlike scene. The man, with a pig’s snout, sits at a table holding a paintbrush and palette. The woman, dressed in a red hat and pearls, leans over him, her body half-naked. The colors are bright but the shapes feel warped, like a mix of reality and fantasy. The man’s pig nose and the woman’s odd pose make the scene feel unsettling. The artist used loose, sketchy lines and bold colors to create this weird mix. Try looking up *George Grosz* to see more of his bold, political art.
