Informal Fritz Winter n.d. (abstract composition). 1950. mixed media with oil on thin cardboard. 25.5 x 39.2 cm. Monogrammed and dated. Mounted freestanding in passepartout in dots. - With slight surface dusting, the corners and edges somewhat rubbed and bumped. Overall in good condition. Provenance: Kurt Leohnhard Collection. - In the early 1950s, Fritz Winter consistently developed his graphic work in the direction of abstraction and informal painting. Framed by a reddish-brown frame, Winter dispenses with strict geometry and instead favours an organic, rhythmic line which he modulates in white, contrasting with the black background. This gives the composition a dynamic and exciting effect and combines his pictorial idea with tachist concepts of lyrical abstraction. The aim of Winter's drawings in the early 1950s was to visualise the "hidden elementary forces and structures of nature". Mixed media with oil on thin cardboard paper. Monogrammed and dated.
