Ad Reinhardt
Abstract Painting
1963
Gustave Courbet
Autoportrait sous forme d'une pipe
1858
(Courbet, sans
idéal et sans religion)
Beside many others Ad Reinhardt
"accompanied" me for many years during the 1970ies and 80ies.
I liked his paintings from the 1950ies and early 60ies
as well as his cartoons and writings.
In the late years of his life his paintings became
black: “no realism, no impressionism, no expressionism… no texture, no
brushwork, no sketching or drawing, no forms, no designs, no calm, no light, no
space, no time, no size or scale, no movement, no object, no subject.”
A great challenge and opportunity for a new start in
my view. My painting from 1993 is a selfportrait. It's me in
the studio, watching the change of light and colors on a sunny afternoon.
