Unraveled

“Clar Monaco's style of painting--the anatomical distortions, the vigorous brushwork, the non-naturalistic color, the anxiety-ridden tenor--owes its inspiration to the original German Expressionists. Monaco's stylistic development was independent of any current neo-expressionist movement; his aesthetic sympathies with the original movement have been long-standing and unaffected by fashion.”
