Online - Modern and Contemporary Art German Postwar Modernism Hofschen, Edgar o.T. (Composition in red). 2002. Gouache on wove paper. 40 x 30 cm. Signed and dated. Mounted in spots on mount backing. - Dotted, barely visible craquelure, overall very good and exceptionally fine, fresh colors. Hofschen's analytical painting revolves around the concepts of "color", "space", "structure" and "material". The color experiences pronounced tension in the surface through delimiting lines and visible layering. It can unfold its own life in full intensity, both on and in interaction with the underlying picture support. Its specific materiality is preserved and becomes the central pictorial expression, which unfolds an impressive effect. Gouache on wove paper. Signed and dated.
