Lohse Richard Paul, *1902 1988 (Zurich) Worked with painting and graphic arts. Verschränkte farbkomplementäre Gruppen,1952/1974 Oil on canvas, 120 x 120 cm © 2006, ProLitteris, Zürich "The method is the picture" is the bold principle adopted by Richard Paul Lohse, a Constructivist artist of Zurich. He sees his compositions, which are made up of equal pictorial elements, as a model for democratic coexistence. The bright colours, set in complementary or flowing gradations, form a cheerful counterpole to the picture's strict structure, which is based on modular or serial rules and principles. |
