About this work

You see a tangle of black lines on white paper—some look like faces, others like scribbles or shapes that almost mean something. Immendorff made this when he was still a student, before his big, political paintings. The lines feel urgent, like he was thinking faster than he could draw. It’s not about skill; it’s about energy. If you like this raw, messy style, look up impasto.
