Dogs Fighting 1940 - 1944

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan made this painting, Dogs Fighting, using oil paint. Look at how the artist builds up the image with these short, choppy strokes. You can almost feel the energy of the dogs through the paint itself, right? It’s not about getting every detail perfect; it’s about capturing a moment, a feeling. The thing that really grabs me is the texture. The paint is thick, almost sculptural in places, especially around the dogs' bodies. It’s like he’s not just painting them, but wrestling them onto the canvas! See how the colors blend, not smoothly, but in rough, visible strokes? That’s where the magic is. The green is a bit unsettling, a sort of sickly hue that doesn't quite sit well against the red of the dogs fighting. This reminds me a little of Soutine, who also wasn't afraid to get messy. Both artists remind us that art isn't just about what you see, but how you feel it. Isn't that the best part?
