Online - Moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst – Verso mit Nachlassstempel. - Das vorliegende Werk entsteht in dem Jahr, in dem Berke Mitglied der Künstlergruppe "ZEN" wird. Informelle Werke prägen große Teile seines Ouvres. So Berke im Jahr 1953: "Sie wollen wissen, warum ich abstrakt malen will. Die zivilisierte Welt ist im Vordergrund verbraucht und öde, allgemein zeigt sich eine starre Maskenhaftigkeit, die Welt des äußeren Menschen entbehrt des Humanen. So müssen wir Kräfte gestalten, die hinter den äußeren Erscheinungen der Dinge wirken."

Online - Modern and Contemporary Art – Watercolour on Hahnemühle handmade paper (with watermark). Signed and dated. - Margins with very slight tears, verso with traces of studio use, light stains and marks from previous mounting. Overall in good condition. With deckle edge on all sides. - On the verso with estate stamp. - This work was created in the year Berke became a member of the artists' group 'ZEN'. Informal works characterise large parts of his oeuvre. As Berke said in 1953: 'You want to know why I want to paint abstractly. The civilised world is worn out and barren on the surface, generally, a rigid, mask-like quality is evident, the world of the outward human being lacks humanity. So we must give form to the forces that work behind the outward appearances of things.'
