Arnulf Rainer — Jagd
Arnulf Rainer

Jagd

1970

Arnulf Rainer's *Jagd* features vigorous, gestural charcoal marks applied to a translucent Ultraphan sheet, which is then taped to paper, creating a layered interplay between the drawing and its support. The work exemplifies Rainer's characteristically intense and frenetic approach to mark-making, where raw, energetic strokes convey a sense of urgency and primal force. The use of the transparent substrate adds a subtle depth, allowing the underlying paper to become an active part of the composition.
