Lot 71 Heinz Gruchot. Konkrete Komposition. 1984. …

Konkrete Komposition. 1984. Acryl auf Leinwand. 111 x 91.5 cm. In Faserstift rückseitig auf dem Keilrahmen signiert und datiert "12.6.84". In Holzleiste gerahmt sowie unter Plexiglaskasten. - Sehr gut erhalten. Klare, auf wenige Formen reduzierte und doch ausgesprochen ausdrucksstarke Komposition.

Konkrete Kunst – Das Werk von Heinz Gruchot steht exemplarisch für die Prinzipien der Konkreten Kunst, wie sie seit den 1930er-Jahren von Künstlern wie Max Bill oder Richard Paul Lohse entwickelt wurden: Mit strenger Reduktion auf Linie, Fläche und Farbe verfolgt Gruchot eine objektive, konstruktive Bildsprache frei von Symbolik oder subjektivem Ausdruck. In der hier gezeigten Komposition lotet er mit wenigen präzise gesetzten farbigen Elementen auf der rohen Leinwand das Verhältnis von Raum, Rhythmus und Materialität aus und erreicht so eine visuelle Intensität, die gerade aus der Zurückhaltung und Klarheit der Mittel ihre Wirkung entfaltet.

Concrete Art – Acrylic on canvas. Signed and dated '12.6.84' in fibre pen on the reverse of the stretcher. Framed in wooden moulding and under acrylic crate. - Very well preserved. Clear composition reduced to a few forms, yet exceptionally expressive. - Heinz Gruchot's work exemplifies the principles of Concrete Art as developed since the 1930s by artists such as Max Bill and Richard Paul Lohse: with a strict reduction to line, surface and colour, Gruchot pursues an objective, constructive visual language free of symbolism or subjective expression. He explores the relationship between space, rhythm and materiality with a few precisely placed coloured elements on the raw canvas, achieving a visual intensity that unfolds its effect especially through the restraint and clarity of the media.
