This Modernist abstract oil painting by Hans Jaenisch, dating to circa 1960, is a compelling representation of post-war German art. Boldly executed on paper, the composition depicts a stylized bull alongside an abstract figure, rendered with dynamic shapes and expressive brushwork.
Jaenisch's use of vibrant colors and fluid forms showcases his mastery of the Modernist style—balancing figuration and abstraction. The piece conveys a sense of movement and emotional intensity, with its interplay of contrasting hues and dramatic gestural technique. This work epitomizes the artistic experimentation of mid-20th-century Germany, where figurative elements were often imbued with profound symbolism. Highly textural and incised deeply with the end of the brush, this painting has an incredibly dynamic surface where the materials and forms emerge and receed within the handling of linear forms and textural openess.
Signed by the artist in the lower right hand corner, this painting is not only visually striking but also culturally significant, as it reflects the post-war reconciliation with modern art movements. Perfect for collectors of Modernist abstracts or enthusiasts of German post-war art, this rare painting would make a distinctive statement in any gallery or personal collection. In Very Good Vintage Condition and fitted in a custom Blackened Walnut Gallery Frame with a Linen Liner.
