The artwork titled “Three Vases” by Janet Sobel, circa 1943, belongs to the Art Brut movement and falls under the genre of symbolic painting.
In this piece, three distinct, stylized figures are depicted, each characterized by intricate and elaborate patterns. The central figure is flanked by two others, creating a symmetrical composition reminiscent of vases. The dominant colors are warm hues of red, orange, and brown, which contribute to the overall organic and textured appearance. The faces and forms appear abstract yet suggest human features, inviting contemplation of their symbolic meaning. The meticulous detailing and vibrant coloration exemplify Sobel’s distinctive approach and the expressive depth of Art Brut.
