Deutsche Nachkriegsmoderne
Online - Moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst – Das vorliegende Werk steht charakteristisch für das Oeuvre Ottos, der in den 1960er Jahren an der Hochschule der bildenden Künste Berlin studierte und immer wieder scheinbar unspektakuläre Szene in den Fokus seiner Arbeiten setzte. Die Darstellung der Baustelle am Brandenburger Tor spiegelt eine Alltagsszene an einem kubistisch geordneten Ort wider, an dem die Figuren wie einheitliche Statisten Teil einer größeren Ordnung zu sein scheinen.
Online - Modern and Contemporary Art – Oil on canvas. Signed on the recto, signed, dated and titled on the verso. - Overall in very good condition. An expressive work in fresh colours. - This piece is characteristic of Otto's oeuvre, who studied at the Berlin University of the Arts in the 1960s and repeatedly focused his work on seemingly unspectacular scenes. The depiction of the construction site at the Brandenburg Gate reflects an everyday scene in a cubistically arranged setting, where the figures, like uniform extras, appear to be part of a larger order.
