Bendor Mark

Study for Execution
1939

An expressionist painting depicting a distorted human figure with exaggerated forms and curves in earthy and golden tones. The figure appears to be in a state of rest or sorrow, with its head resting on its knees. The brushwork is dynamic and textured, and the artist's signature is visible in the upper right corner.
