#Expressionism

I was rereading an old #art history, book of mine. In it are many black-and-white reproductions of #paintings and drawings that are actually in color. One caught my attention and I decided to look it up to see what it looks like in color. Amazing.

Self Portrait as Mars by Otto Dix. Oil on paper from 1915.

I can’t help but think that this expresses something like a Jungian archetype even though Jung’s ideas wouldn’t be developed and widely known for sometime. #ArtHistory #expressionism

Axel Törneman
Swedish, 1880-1925
"Absinthe", 1902
Oil on canvas 🍸

Törneman was one of Sweden's earliest modernist painters. Born in Persberg, Värmland, he grew to work in several modernist styles, was one of the first Swedish expressionist artists, and became a part of the international avant-garde in art after embracing more abstract art styles in Germany and France that were evolving there during the early 1900s
