This painting resembles two men discussing a
subject, a subject that involves deep passion and sorrow projected by their
faces. The colors play a crucial role in the undertone of the mode of the
environment.
The painting involves the characteristics of melancholia
and depression. Really this vision depicts the faithful and the scientist. On
the walls one can see the a illustration of a painting with Jesus on the ground
off the cross on the side of the person that seems to be representing the
religious aspect of life.
On the other side, one can see the standing
passionate aspect of a man proposing theories, hypothesis based on knowledge.
Behind him is another painting depicting a serious man, possible a great
personality in science, art, or another famous person of the time. Most
importantly, the person in the painting is most likely non-superstitious as
well.
There is a rugged expressionist style over his
painting with etching solid colors. The painting is definitely has a story with
a beginning, middle, and end, all culminated.
In relation to this beautiful composition, I found a convincing theme that reminded me a lot of it, and here it is.
Same title (Zwei Männer Am Tisch) by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff 1923
