The artwork named “Untitled” by Janet Sobel, dated circa 1943 to 1948, belongs to the art movements of Automatic Painting and Art Brut. This piece is categorized as a symbolic painting.
In the artwork, a complex interplay of vibrant colors and dynamic shapes creates an intense and emotionally charged composition. Various figures and faces emerge ambiguously from a chaotic backdrop, vividly delineated by bold, black lines. The use of bright reds, blues, greens, and oranges imbues the painting with a sense of vitality and movement. Each figure appears to interlock with the next, forming a tapestry of intertwined human and possibly animal forms, suggesting a deep, subconscious narrative. The overall impression is one of raw, expressive energy, representative of the Automatic Painting and Art Brut movements, where spontaneous, unrefined creation is paramount.
