“Jumping Figure” is an artwork created by Georg Baselitz in 1982. Aligning with the Neo-Expressionism art movement, this figurative piece is notable for its dynamic portrayal of human form and emotional intensity.
The artwork features a figure in motion, captured with bold, sweeping lines and a stark contrast of dark and light tones. The figure appears suspended or in mid-jump, creating a sense of energy and spontaneity. The use of dark hues and contrasting lighter areas adds depth and a dramatic effect to the composition. The background consists of abstract elements, giving the piece a sense of depth and complexity. The figure and its surroundings merge into a cohesive yet dynamically charged image, reflecting the emotional and expressive characteristics typical of the Neo-Expressionism movement.
