The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Janet Sobel around 1945. It belongs to the art movements of Automatic Painting and Art Brut and is categorized under the genres of abstract and symbolic painting.
The artwork exhibits a vivid and chaotic composition, featuring a complex interplay of figures and forms. Dominated by vibrant reds, purples, and greens, the painting portrays a scene filled with stylized human figures and abstract shapes intertwined with organic elements such as leaves and plants. The figures, some appearing almost spectral, are rendered in a variety of poses and expressions, contributing to the overall sense of dynamism and mystery. The bold use of color and the fluid, almost organic lines reflect Sobel’s affiliation with the aforementioned art movements, suggesting an exploration of the subconscious and a raw, unmediated form of expression.
