Rot vor Blau

"Rot vor Blau" by Fritz Winter (1966) is a compelling example of Art informel, reflecting a spontaneous and gestural approach to abstract art. Winter’s composition features dynamic, layered brushstrokes in vibrant shades of red and blue, creating a sense of movement and emotional intensity. The work exemplifies abstraction by distilling form and color to their essential qualities, avoiding representational imagery. Through its textured surface and expressive style, the painting invites viewers into a visceral experience of abstract expression, characteristic of Winter’s exploration of color and form in the post-war era.
