About the Item

This work belongs to one of the most intense moments in Leon Golub's research, in which the human body becomes the true battlefield. Two monumental figures face each other in a primal tension, devoid of heroism and narrative. The pictorial surface is abraded and violent, reflecting an extreme physicality. Conflict is not an event, but a permanent structure of human existence. "Battlefield" does not represent two men, but a system of power and vulnerability in an unstable balance. It is not a representation of violence. It is violence made visible. This painting is offered at a very reasonable price compare the actual market. It's a great opportunity to acquire a large canvas by Golub of museum quality. Painting overall in good condition. Painting is signed Golub lower right
