About the Item

This bold, expressionist impasto portrait depicts a circus bear tamer rendered in gestural brushstrokes against a dominant, rich emerald green background. A small, tethered bear appears to dance at the subject's side as the circus worker smokes a cigarette. The artist employs a palette of deep greens, blacks, and touches of red, creating an emotionally charged work. The subject's form emerges from the painterly surface through confident, loose application of pigment, exemplifying the artist's mastery of impasto technique. Signed and inscribed to the reverse. On canvas on stretchers.
