Garden with a woman 

Georg Pauli painted 'Garden with a Woman' using oil paint on canvas, a common medium at the time. The way Pauli builds up the paint gives the whole scene a sense of vitality, as if everything is buzzing with life. Look closely, and you'll see how the brushstrokes aren't just about depicting what's there. The way he applies the paint is about process and materiality too. The rough texture and visible brushwork are as important as the colors themselves. This reminds us that painting is not just about representing an image but also about the physical act of applying pigment to a surface. This approach challenges traditional notions of fine art, which often prioritize the image over the process. By emphasizing the materiality of paint and the act of creation, Pauli invites us to appreciate the craft involved in making art. He blurs the lines between what's seen and what's made.
