Interior with Head and Still Life 1921

Heinrich Campendonk mixed up some strange stuff in "Interior with Head and Still Life". It's like stepping into a dream, right? I get the feeling that Campendonk was just letting his mind wander when he was painting this—layer upon layer, idea after idea, each one fighting for space. The blues and reds really pop out against the dark background, drawing you into the painting's strange depths. What's with that face on the right? And the woman and dog in the background? So many unanswered questions here! I wonder if he was looking at other painters at the time? Maybe he saw someone doing something with color or form and thought, "Hey, I wanna try that!" Painters are always chatting to each other like that, across time, you know? Each brushstroke feels like a little adventure, a tiny rebellion against the ordinary. Ultimately, painting is about seeing and feeling—not just showing.
