Man with Fur Collar

"Man with Fur Collar" by Werner Berg (1967) exemplifies his mastery within the Expressionism genre, reflecting the artist’s bold approach to conveying emotional intensity through portraiture. Berg's technique emphasizes vivid colors, dynamic brushwork, and a focus on internal states rather than realistic depiction. The title suggests an emphasis on texture and materiality, highlighting the significance of the fur collar as a symbol or focal point. As a key work from the late 1960s, it encapsulates Berg’s expressive style, blending abstraction with a direct, visceral portrayal characteristic of his oeuvre.
