About this artwork
Depicted in a naive-expressionist style is a village scene in winter. A few snow-covered houses line a winding village street, where an old woman and a child can be seen. A tree with a broken branch symbolizes the loss of the father? The mother? Despite the brightness and friendliness of the colors, a melancholy hangs over the scene, radiating a sense of emptiness, an absence of something, loneliness.
I was inspired by a painting by the Bremerhaven… artist Paul Kunze. He, as well as his student Heiner Palinkas, strongly influenced me for a time with their North German interpretation of so-called "Expressive Realism." The painting is still in my possession; I don't know if I want to part with it. Perhaps there will be a retrospective someday, and then it would be important to show it.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Max Kuba, a German Expressionist and writer, has worked with oil and acrylic paints for over twenty years, incorporating his experiences from his studies and long career in the art and antiques trade into his painting. His style, which he calls "Pop Realism," combines so-called "Expressive Realism" with elements of "Pop Art." He integrates text fragments, symbols, and vibrant neon colors into sometimes collage-like images, occasionally supplemented by subtle allusions and figures. His works radiate joie de vivre, cheerfulness, and humor—they are expressive, energetic, and convey a joy in painting.
