East German Art Hermann Glöckner n.d. 1958. India ink, tempera and watercolour on Japan. 30 x 45 cm. Signed and dated verso: "Glöckner 16.4.58/6". Mounted in dots on light card. - With slight undulation due to technique and slight gathering in places due to paper, with backed defect lower left. Overall in good condition. Atmospheric, dynamic composition. Not in Güse's work. - Here Glöckner creates an independent synthesis of strict constructive order and lyrical effect for the viewer. The two tectonic vertical bands amalgamate with seemingly tachistically moving forms, creating a contrast between linear and almost musical rhythmic forms. This evokes an aesthetic tension of movement in the viewer's perception, which is further emphasised by the circular movement of the stroke and the gradation of light, dark, contrasts and shades. This independent style of Glöckner, characterised by a special synthesis of rigour and lyricism, is characteristic of his graphic work and this creative phase. India ink, tempera and watercolour.
