This expressive and colorful work by Israeli-Romanian artist Leo Roth (1914–2002) exudes the poetic visual language for which he is known. The canvas depicts a dreamy, almost fairytale-like scene in which stylized figures, birds, and a horse seem to be in dialogue with their surroundings.
Characteristic are the warm tones of red, yellow, and green, which evoke a vibrant yet intimate atmosphere. Roth worked in a lyrical-abstract style, influenced by the École de Paris and abstract expressionism, but always with a deeper spiritual and human undertone.
The work dates from 1972, a period in which Roth had fully developed his mature style: an interplay of abstraction and figuration, color and emotion. The composition exudes a certain timelessness and bears the marks of age – a testament to its authenticity and age.
This painting is not only a work of art, but also a historical document reflecting the development of modern Israeli art.
