o.T. (Spiral-Komposition in Grün- und Grauschattierungen). 1944. Gouache auf Karton. Signiert und datiert. 23,6 x 20,1 (32 x 24,2 cm). Verso mit alten Montierungsspuren, Atelierspuren und zwei geometrischen Bleistiftszeichnungen.
Geometrische Abstraktion – Seltene Arbeit aus dem Frühwerk. - Im Zentrum der Zeichnungen stehen mehrere ineinander verschlungene Spiralen, die von subtilen Farbübergängen in Grüntönen geprägt sind. Diese Spiralmotive werden von transparent überlagernden, geometrischen Formen wie Quadrat und Kreis umschlossen. Die gesamte Komposition vermittelt einen Eindruck von Bewegung und Harmonie und spiegelt das Interesse des Künstlers an mathematischen und naturinspirierten Formen wider. Es dominieren weiche Grün- und Grauschattierungen, die ineinander übergehen. Die Grüntöne variieren von einem hellen, fast pastelligen Grün bis zu einem leicht olivfarbenen Ton, während die Grautöne eher kühl wirken und partiell mit den Grüntönen verschmelzen.
Geometrical Abstraction – Untitled (Spiral composition in shades of green and gray). Gouache on cardboard. Signed and dated. - Verso with old mounting marks, studio marks, and two geometric pencil drawings. - Rare early work. - At the center of the drawings are several intertwined spirals characterized by subtle color transitions in shades of green. These spiral motifs are enclosed by transparent overlapping geometric shapes such as squares and circles. The entire composition conveys an impression of movement and harmony, reflecting the artist's interest in mathematical and nature-inspired forms. Soft shades of green and gray dominate, blending into one another. The green tones vary from a light, almost pastel green to a slightly olive tone, while the gray tones appear rather cool and partially merge with the green tones.
