The artwork entitled “Otros Troncos” was created by the artist Xul Solar in the year 1919. It falls within the Expressionism art movement and represents the landscape genre.
The artwork features a distinctive and abstract portrayal of a landscape, heavily influenced by Expressionist style. Dominated by bold and jagged lines, the composition includes several angular, tree-like forms rendered in dark hues. These shapes starkly contrast against a vibrant and dynamic background of rich oranges, reds, and yellows, evoking the intensity of the setting sun. There is a sense of motion and chaos inherent in the exaggerated and fragmented forms, capturing the emotional intensity characteristic of Expressionism. The use of color within the sky, including swathes of blue and shades of earth tones, further enhances the dramatic atmosphere of the scene depicted in the artwork.
