Fritz Kohlstädt
(translated biography from Kunsthaus Bühler gallery)
Fritz Kohlstädt has acquired the painting without the help of
an
academic education itself. The drawing he learned at the Stuttgart city
graphic artist Walter Romberg, and then went from 1950-63 as a designer
and engineer of Daimler-Benz, where he was continuing its own alongside
the painting. In 1958 he became a founding member of Sindelfingen
secession, which he chaired for several years with great dedication.
1963-68 he was a teaching contract for textile design at the after
school for weaving in Sindelfingen. After that he was freelance.
Kohlstädt, who described himself as "expressionist", has
developed
over the years with admirable consistency, a characteristic of work and
expression. On numerous trips, he studied the landscape, which suited
his nature: he preferred the harsh regions of the Norwegian fjords,
Brittany and Normandy, Hungary or the Swabian Alb, but also in light of
the South, on Lanzarote or Egypt are paintings were created. Here he
gave the health-giving units in numerous sketches in oil crayon set,
and the great works in watercolor and oil then formed on the basis of
these drawings in the studio. He often combined elements of several
important drawings to create a new, system-typical landscape, which he
captivated with generous, energetic, yet controlled brush strokes on
the canvas. It looked Kohlstädt the mood, the essence of the
landscape, as it reveals itself to his eye and sense to come to the
track in short, to discover the nature behind nature. Image objects are
increasingly stripped of its natural color and physicality, reduced to
its basic form, distorted, transformed into invaluable theme areas of
color and symbols of themselves changed, recognizable as a landscape,
yet at the same time an expression of the subjective perception of
color and mood of the artist. SOLD
