Description from the seller

Title: People
ㅤ
School: European School (20th century)
ㅤ
Style: Figurative Expressionism with Modernist influence
ㅤ
Technique: Watercolor on paper
ㅤ
Estado: State of conservation in accordance with its age.
ㅤ
Círculo e influencia artística:
This work is stylistically related to the European expressionist and modernist currents of the 20th century, characterized by the simplification of the human figure, the predominance of line, and the expressive use of color. Its graphic language shows affinities with the figure drawing tradition and with certain proposals of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and the Modernist illustrators, especially in the gestural representation of characters and social scenes.
ㅤ
The composition depicts a group of human figures gathered in a socially themed scene. The characters are built with agile, spontaneous lines, few facial details, and deliberate anatomical simplification.
ㅤ
In the foreground stands out a seated female figure, whose clothing is defined by reddish and grayish strokes. Behind her are several standing silhouettes, some barely suggested by blueish and greenish outlines, which add dynamism and depth to the set.
ㅤ
The work presents a light and expressive aesthetic, characterized by the use of a reduced palette and by the prominence of drawing over traditional modeling. The transparency of the colors and the use of the light background of the paper reinforce its spontaneous character.
ㅤ
It is presented with a black finish frame, silver inner mount, and wide gray antracite matting. Its color combination provides an elegant and contemporary contrast, highlighting the delicacy of the composition.
ㅤ
Observaciones:
The work may incur damage during transport even with proper packing. In such a case, we will need photographs of the damages to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
ㅤ
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge for reasons such as being outside a continental territory, excessive dimensions or weight of the item. PremiArt will not cover this surcharge under any circumstance.
ㅤ
The courier that must pass through the Swiss border can be much slower than usual, so, if possible, to speed up processing, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the customer can unlock it and have it reach its destination. Experience has shown us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.
ㅤ
Due to the high volume of shipments, orders may be delayed by more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging.
