AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Proposed title: Trees in Inner Vibration
Technical sheet
Author: J. RITTER
Chronology: mid-20th century
Technique: mixed media on paper (watercolor, ink, and oil pencil)
Measurements: 31 × 23 cm (artwork) · 47 × 38 cm (framed)
Style: Lyrical Expressionism
Painting school: Modern European school of landscape
Condition: good; shows a slight horizontal fold typical of paper supports, stable and non-invasive.
Marco: solid wood quality frame, straight and sober molding, with an antique olive green mat, very well chosen and harmonious with the artwork's color palette.
2. Compositional and iconographic description
The work depicts a forest of twisted trunks and tensioned branches, articulated around a powerful central arboreal axis that dominates the composition.
Space is constructed through overlapping chromatic planes—greens, blues, ochres, and pinks—that create depth without relying on traditional academic perspective.
The black stroke, nervous and deliberately visible, delineates the shapes and reinforces the internal rhythm of the landscape.
Iconographically, the tree acts as a vital and organic symbol, almost anthropomorphic, evoking inner strength, growth, and resilience, in a nature interpreted more through emotion than literal observation.
3. Style, School, and Comparative Valuation
This work clearly aligns with a lyrical expressionism of Central European origin, where color and gesture construct the landscape as a subjective experience. Julián Ritter's language dialogues with artists like Oskar Kokoschka, Emil Nolde, or certain landscapes by Chaïm Soutine, all highly regarded references of European expressionism.
The combination of mixed media, structural drawing, and vibrant color confers the work with notable plastic intensity and a strong decorative character.
It is a very representative piece of mid-20th-century modern sensibility, appealing both to collectors of works on paper and to lovers of expressive landscapes with personality and a solid artistic discourse.
