“Chocolate Painting (Schokoladenbild)” by Sigmar Polke, created in 1964, is a notable work within the Pop Art movement and falls under the figurative genre. The artwork features a representation of a partially unwrapped chocolate bar against a backdrop of vertical black and white stripes, emphasizing the everyday subject matter typical of Pop Art. The chocolate bar is depicted with intricate details, highlighting its texture and the small, embedded nuts. The stark contrast between the brown chocolate bar, the red wrapping, and the minimalistic background lines creates a vivid and dynamic composition, reflecting a blend of realism and abstraction within the Pop Art context.
