Attributed to: Unknown artist from the German-Austrian outsider / art brut tradition (Prinzhorn Collection influence, Central Europe)

A powerful and raw visionary work dominated by a monumental sun-like human face in intense yellow, with radiating beams, wide staring eyes, and an open mouth from which vivid red drips cascade (symbolizing blood, tears, or life force). The interior of the mouth reveals a surreal symbolic landscape: a mushroom, lock or key, smoking chimney, tree, house, small child-like figures (one holding a broom), and enigmatic cosmic or technological elements.

Executed in thick, unrefined brushstrokes with saturated flat colors and no academic perspective, the painting embodies pure psychic expression typical of early outsider art brut. The heavy symbolism merges life-giving divinity, suffering, mysticism, and chaos into a deeply personal and disturbing narrative.

A rare and intense early masterpiece of outsider/visionary art from Central Europe, ideal for collectors of Art Brut, psychiatric art, or marginal creations from the pre-Dubuffet era. See less
