Description from the seller
“Melkdraagster” – monumental expressionist work after Constant Permeke – oil on panel – signed V. Broeck L. ’73
Impressive XXL-expressionist painting, executed in the spirit of Belgian expressionism and clearly inspired by the powerful oeuvre of Constant Permeke.
The work bears the title “Melkdraagster” and, in terms of atmosphere and theme, references iconic Permeke compositions such as De Manddrager, Vissersvrouwen and other monumental figure studies from his later period.
The central figure was built up in heavy, sober volumes with deep earth tones and dramatic use of light. The combination of expressionist distortion and abstract color fields gives the work a particularly powerful presence.
