Post-impressionism
Genre
Portrait
The painting titled 'Woman' exemplifies Flemish Expressionism, a style influenced by Post-impressionism through artists like Ensor and Van Gogh. Characterized by earthy colors and vigorous brushwork, it often depicts portraits rooted in rural life, emphasizing raw emotion and primitive aesthetics. Unlike German Expressionism’s rebellious themes, Flemish artists favored themes of farming and folk traditions, sometimes incorporating elements of Fauvism and Cubism. 'Woman' reflects this approach with vibrant color, simplified forms, and a focus on primal, authentic expression typical of the School of Latem’s work.
