Eric Fischl

Untitled (Saigon Minnesota)
1986

A vibrant expressionist painting depicting two figures, one standing upright and the other bent forward with hands touching the ground. The standing figure is painted with light, flesh-toned hues against a backdrop of blue and white that suggests a sky, while the bent figure is rendered in dark brown tones against a green, grass-like foreground. The brushstrokes are thick and energetic, conveying a sense of movement and raw emotion.
