Expressionist By
1950 he loosens up and develops a lyrical and highly motion-filled style. At that
time, he also moved to Darmstadt to work for the "Stars and Stripes", the US Armed Forces, newspaper.
He was the art director until retirement in 1969 at which time he moved to Guadalajara, Mexico. |
| Pallette
Changes For the next 22 years in Mexico's tropical environment,
his third style emphasizes more vibrant primary colors. His last four
years are spent in Austin Texas near two of his daughters. His
pallette alters once again, somehow in a conclusive statement combining the blacks
and browns of Germany, with the reds and yellows of Mexico arriving at the maybe not
so surprising cooler blues and greens. His paintings are highly regarded and
exhibited in major museums and public buildings all over the world. |
