Earth tones and contrasts

In ‘Besinnung’, white and rust-brown sit beside one another. ‘Erdverbunden I’ places a white sweep beside dark brown and orange; ‘Abenteuer Erde’ joins golden ochre and olive with light bands.

Colours can only be compared approximately across screens. Catalogue pages provide larger views and documented dimensions and dates where known.

Seeing originals at the studio

Texture also affects colour: a matte, rough area looks different from a smooth band of paint. A studio visit lets you look closely at the surface.
