Label TextThe meaning of the title word, Disputation, is to argue a point passionately. The artist suggests the emotional connotations through the style of his mark-making and the pose of the figure. Breverman used short, quick strokes to describe his subject. These lines flicker and crackle, giving the figure a sense of intense energy. The artist thinks in terms of animated fragments rather than continuous contours. The face and expression of the figure is captured in a few quick lines. Much of the figure's intensity comes from the body, which is posed straight and erect with the hands open and outstretched.There are no works to discover for this record.
