His tuition with Hermann Glöckner proved decisive for his artistic development; it was under Glöckner’s influence that the ‘Constructive Exercises’ were created. In these works, he increasingly explores the geometric division of the picture plane. The compositions begin with a simple central line intersected by a diagonal, and develop into complex structures comprising several lines that divide the sheet in varying proportions. Mixed media with silverpoint on woven paper. In original folder with sleeve. – Some slight surface abrasion. One sheet shows some handling marks on the reverse.

His artistic development was decisively shaped by his studies with Hermann Glöckner, under whose influence the ‘Constructive Exercises’ were created. In these works, he increasingly explores the geometric division of the pictorial surface. The compositions begin with a simple central line intersected by a diagonal and evolve into complex structures of multiple lines that divide the sheet into varying proportions.
