Joven dama

 Robert Brackman, Joven dama de 1933 (1933), óleo sobre tela, 63 x 76 cm. Colección particular

"Young Lady of 1933, pictured above, is the finest example of Brackman’s work, and perhaps his most metaphysical. Given the title and the exacting attention to fashion, there may have been a conscious attempt on his part to capture a sense of the era. The detail given to her hat and dress is such that it is sufficient; he could have very well taken the detail much further, but wisely kept it quite subtle in an almost impressionistic way.

The strict positioning of the subject on the chair, her straightforward gaze toward us, the positioning of her arm and her hand holding the red scarf, or rather pulling it through the loop in the collar of her dress, suggest an idealist motif emanating throughout the work as a whole, as if he were viewing her through a cinematic lens. The crooked positioning of the chair makes it quite clear she is sitting upright, her attention focused squarely on us. Her expression adds to the metaphysical atmosphere, being neither overtly this way or that. Yet, at the same time, it cannot be considered to be vague, but rather we feel that she is holding something back. It is one of those expressions that can only be captured at a perfect moment in time, as if everything has suddenly come to a standstill and there is only a single, lingering thought foreshadowing the next moment to come.

The colours are quiet and fluid, giving a sense of warmth, but not necessarily of comfort. In his use of pinks, purples, and reds, the artist is setting a tone of subdued anxiety, further reflected in the hallucinatory gaze of the subject being directed toward us. The bowl of fruit in the background behind her, a brilliant and concise juxtaposition of still life against portraiture, a common theme throughout many of Brackman’s paintings. The inclusion of the ubiquitous bowl of fruit in portraiture is never by chance, and always a deliberate choice of symbolism on the part of the artist."
