Abstrakte Formen_Steiner
This work by Josef Steiner is rendered in a modern abstract expressionist style, featuring bold, gestural strokes in black that create a striking contrast against a palette of pale blue, white, and hints of red. The composition appears loosely structured, with heavy, textured lines forming abstract shapes that suggest architectural or structural elements. Steiner’s use of thick paint layers and rough, expressive brushstrokes gives the artwork a raw and dynamic quality, creating an impression of movement and depth. This abstraction prioritizes form and texture over detail, aligning with the artist’s expressionist tendencies.
Context
Steiner's work reflects the ethos of post-war European abstraction, where artists often expressed emotional and existential themes through non-representational forms. Created in the latter half of the 20th century, this piece fits within the broader movement of abstract expressionism, emphasizing personal expression through color, line, and form. The deliberate use of texture and abstraction speaks to the era’s interest in exploring subjective experience and emotional resonance through minimalism and expressive mark-making.
