Kofron Fragment Hexentanz w. Decapitated Mans Head Oil on Canvas, Germany c 1940
Located in Esbjerg, DK
A strikingly brutal piece that raises more questions than answers. It was painted during the early 1940s by the German relatively unknown artist Franz Kofron.

The technique used is referred to as Grisaille where a variety of shades/nuances within one color, typically gray, is used to create dept, mystic and atmosphere. The subject matter is a female with powerfull physic and rather masculine facial features/traits carrying a decapitated mans head attached to a stick by his long hair. One can argue that it articulates a reference to Judiths beheading...
