About this work

This painting shows two women standing close together. One has her arms around the other’s shoulders, and both seem to be in motion. The background is a flat red-orange, while their clothes are painted in thick, bright strokes—greens, yellows, and blues. The brushwork is loose, almost like the artist slapped paint on quickly. The colors clash in a way that feels energetic, not polished. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint like this changes a picture.
