About this work

This painting shows a big, bald man in a suit speaking to a crowd. His face is serious, and his tie is blue. Behind him, a woman in a red dress sits at a desk, writing. The background is packed with buildings and small faces watching him. The man’s collar is painted thickly, almost like bumps. The artist used bold colors and exaggerated shapes to make the scene feel dramatic. The thick paint on the man’s collar stands out—it looks almost 3D. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
