Vintage Oil Painting of a Young Woman, Paul Schneeberg, Germany 1995
Item e8340

A great modernist portrait of a woman painted by Paul Schneeberg in 1995, featuring a striking, expressive character study with distinct graphic qualities. Dominating the upper composition is the woman's bold, geometric bob haircut in yellow, which frames a stylized, elongated face rendered with bold black outlines reminiscent of early 20th-century expressionism. She is depicted wearing a minimalist white V-neck top. The warm, sun-kissed skin tones of the figure contrast beautifully with the petrol-blue background. Schneeberg’s painterly approach masterfully combines simplified figurative forms with strong tonal contrasts and a rhythmic, stylized elegance. Signed and dated '95 Paul Schneeberg' in the lower left corner. Presented in a simple, sleek white wooden gallery frame.

Paul Schneeberg was a Berlin-based painter primarily active during the late 20th century, particularly throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Heavily influenced by German Expressionism and early modernist figuration, his work is characterized by bold outlines, stylized forms, and vibrant, contrasting palettes. Reflecting the artistic evolution of the post-reunification Berlin scene,
