Karl Fred Dahmen Art
German, 1917-1981
Karl Fred Dahmen (1917–1981) was a German painter, sculptor, and printmaker known for his dynamic abstract compositions and expressive use of color and form. Born in Stolberg, Germany, Dahmen initially trained as a blacksmith before studying painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He emerged as a prominent figure in the post-war German art scene, experimenting with various styles including abstraction and gestural painting. Dahmen's work often explored themes of nature, industrialization, and the human condition, reflecting his own experiences and observations of the world around him. Throughout his career, he exhibited extensively in Germany and internationally, gaining recognition for his innovative approach to art-making. Today, Dahmen's works can be found in major museums and collections worldwide, where they continue to captivate audiences with their vibrant energy and emotive power.(Biography provided by ArtWise)

Abstract Color Field Red Purple Gradient Aquatint Etching California Minimalism
By Joe Novak
Located in Surfside, FL
"Voices IX"
Aquatint Etching •
Image: 12”x 14” • Paper: 30”x 22” • 2001
Hand signed and numbered 2/2 on BFK Rives paper.

When illuminated they become glowing surfaces of color and light. His artistic background and work link him closely with the first generation abstract expressionists of the New York School. Major influences include Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, and his mentors, Peter Busa...
