About this work

This painting shows a group of people around a large, ornate wooden structure with carved details. The scene looks like a nighttime gathering, with warm yellow and orange lights glowing behind the structure. Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the whole image a rough, sketchy feel. The people seem to be moving or standing around the structure, which looks like a traditional cremation pyre. The artist used bold colors and thick strokes to create energy and movement in the scene. Next, look up Pümpin, Fritz to see more of his work.
