Art
Art
Beginning in 1975, he was a member of the Association for Free and Applied Arts EV Darmstadt, for decades a fixed place in the Darmstadt art life. From 1950, he had numerous exhibitions at home and abroad. His paintings are an expression of his intense search for the perfect effect of a particular composition. His paintings of natural or cultural landscapes were light and airy, determined by the play of light on the scene. His work often portrayed still lifes using a clever arrangement with alluring colors and subtle lighting. The symbols in his still lifes are often flowers, the glorification of God in his works. Plants, often tree-lined avenues represent the four seasons and symbolize the annual flow.
