Egon Karl NICOLAUS (1928-1988) - Lyrical Composition

Egon Karl Nicolaus (1928–1988) was a German painter whose work belongs to the European Lyrical Abstraction movement of the 1960s–1970s. His compositions, of great chromatic intensity, explore the relationships between matter, color, and movement, through free and expressive gesturality.

This oil on paper, dated from the 1960s–1970s, is a unique work of great visual power. The purple, black, pink, and turquoise tones are arranged in broad flat areas and gestural strokes, creating an atmosphere that is both cosmic and introspective. The intentionally textured material gives the work a remarkable physical presence.
