Dana Schutz

Dark Haired Girl

2017

Dana Schutz's *Dark Haired Girl* (2017) is a dynamic mixed-media work on paper combining watercolor, gouache, and acrylic to depict a female figure rendered in Schutz's characteristically expressive, fragmented style. The layered mediums create a tension between fluid washes and opaque, gestural marks, resulting in a surface that feels simultaneously spontaneous and constructed. The work exemplifies Schutz's ongoing exploration of the human figure, distorting and reimagining the body as a site of psychological and emotional energy.
