Georg Karl Pfahler Art
German, 1926-2002
Georg Karl Pfahler (1926–2002) was a pioneering German artist renowned for his contributions to Hard-Edge painting and Color Field movements. Born in Emetzheim, Germany, he studied under Willi Baumeister at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, graduating in 1954. Initially influenced by Art Informel, Pfahler's work evolved in the early 1960s towards sharply defined geometric forms and vibrant color contrasts, establishing him as a leading figure in European abstract art. His dedication to exploring the interplay between color, shape, and space distinguished his artistic approach.
Pfahler's international acclaim includes representing Germany at the 35th Venice Biennale in 1970 alongside artists like Günther Uecker and Heinz Mack, and participating in the 16th São Paulo Biennial in 1981. His works have been exhibited globally, with notable retrospectives such as "Color and Space" at QG Gallery in Brussels in 2019. Beyond painting, Pfahler contributed to architectural projects, integrating art into public spaces in post-war Germany. He also held teaching positions, including a tenure at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg from 1984 to 1992, influencing a new generation of artists.to

Biography:
Dan May is an American painter and printmaker born on March 11, 1955 in San Francisco, CA. Raised in aesthetic surroundings heavily influenced by his architect father, May grew up learning to view all things with an eye for design, color, and shape. At age 5, he remembers his father cutting up a book of drawings by Henri Matisse and hanging them on the walls of their home. The French master Matisse as well as Richard Diebenkorn and David Hockney are his favorite art influences. He began his first attempts at painting at age 15, and later began to experiment with printmaking, teaching himself various techniques such as woodblock printing, etching, silkscreen printing, and monoprinting.
Monoprinting soon became May's medium of choice due to its wide range of expression and spontaneity that he felt other techniques lacked. May - "With monoprinting, you can only work a piece for as a long as the paint stays wet, so the resulting print has a feeling of movement and immediacy. I also like how monoprinting allows the brush strokes to transfer a transparent light quality to the print. For me, this is a technique that bridges drawing...
