Gerhard Uhlig (1926-2015) Drawing with graphite pencil, unique “untitled” 1990

About the Item

Gerhard Uhlig (1926-2015) Drawing with graphite pencil, unique “untitled”, signed and dated by hand, created 1990, framed behind glass Dimensions: Sheet size 15 x 21 cm Frame size 40 x 50 cm Gerhard Uhlig developed his art out of abstract modernism. Artistic positions such as those of Willi Baumeister, one of the most important representatives of abstract painting, inspired him to develop his own graphic formal language, which, with its geometric-constructive pictorial elements, ties in with both concrete art and OP art, a form of abstract art that attempts to create optical illusions using geometric forms. Uhlig's pictorial compositions are precisely executed lines and color accents that are characterized by an astonishing variety of forms and colors, suggesting abstract spaces and volumes. Analogous to his art didactic studies, he approaches his works in a complex, almost scientific manner, always in search of new perceptions that lead to new designs. He has also made a name for himself in art didactics: from 1969 onwards, Uhlig spent 16 years as a subject representative for art education at the Regierungspräsident Münster, where he campaigned for reforms and played a decisive role in shaping grammar school art education in Westphalia.

Ernst Fuchs (1930 - 2015) "Head of a cherub", created in 1982 Color silkscreen
By Ernst Fuchs
Located in Münster, DE
Ernst Fuchs (1930 - 2015) "Head of a cherub", created in 1982 Color silkscreen, ed. 200 pieces, signed and numbered Dimensions 67.7 cm x 45 cm Ernst Fuchs was born on February 13, 1930 in Vienna Ottakring as the only child of Maximilian and Leopoldine Fuchs; his father was of Jewish descent, which is why his grandfather and father emigrated to the USA and Shanghai in 1938 after the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich. To protect little Ernst from anti-Semitic hostility, it was decided to baptize him according to the Roman Catholic rite in 1942. The 12-year-old Ernst Fuchs was allowed to choose his own baptismal name and chose Ernst Peter Paul, in honor of the painter Peter Paul Rubens, whom he admired at the time. Around the same time, his godmother's brother, the painter and restorer Alois Schiemann, taught him the basics of drawing and painting. Until the age of 15, he attended the St. Anna painting school in Vienna, where he was taught sculpture and painting by Emmy Steinböck and Fritz Fröhlich. After the war, Ernst Fuchs was finally able to take up his longed-for studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, which he had previously been denied for racist reasons. His teachers were first Robin Andersen, then Albert Paris Gütersloh. While still a student, he was allowed to hold his first solo exhibition in Paris in 1949, and soon afterwards, in 1950, he also moved to the French capital. Ernst Fuchst traveled through Europe and the USA for six years before taking an extended stay at the Dormition Monastery on Mount Zion in Israel in 1957 to study icon painting in depth. He finally returned to Vienna in 1962, where he founded the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism with former fellow students, of which he himself was to become the most important representative. The early years in particular were characterized by a strong surrealism; mythical and religious symbols in particular appealed to Ernst Fuchs and permeated his work. Later, Fuchs turned increasingly to Mannerism. Ernst Fuchs' artistic spectrum broadened over the years: he sang and recorded various albums, which, like the majority of his paintings, were inspired by mystical motifs, and he designed stage sets for such famous operas as Wagner's Parsifal and Lohengrin or Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Ernst Fuchs also wrote philosophical treatises. He repeatedly collaborated with other artists, including the musicians Klaus Schulze...
