Vest, Nora - Malerei, Es wuchert... is a 1978 unspecified by Nora Vest, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows a simple, flat shape of a head with closed eyes and a mouth. The face is white against a light blue background. Below it, a hand holds a long, dark object that looks like a cane or branch, with a lighter blue sleeve peeking out. The artist used bold black lines for the eyes and mouth, making the face look almost like a mask. The hand and cane are drawn with quick, sketchy strokes. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Nora Vest made oil paintings in the German Neo-Expressionist style of the 1980s, when artists layered thick paint and bold color to express raw emotion.
