Jungwirth's lush palette of reds, pinks and purples bleed through the paper-covered surface of her canvases, revealing the rhythms of her dynamic, instinctual compositions

Published with Long Museum.

In Austrian artist Martha Jungwirth's (born 1940) most recent series, oils and watercolors become fleeting impressions of apes, Trojan horses and Cambodian landscapes, in painterly dialogue with Goya, Manet and Degas. Brushstrokes emerge from states of euphoria, anger and despair, colliding with deliberate stillness.
