Heinrich Mutter
Further drawings by Heinrich Mutter can be seen in the Heart Center. Mutter used wafer-thin lines and delicate hatching to create filigree drawings that appear to almost float - detached from the ground. His watercolors are composed of high-contrast color bars. One would like to discover fields, paths or hills - sublime landscapes from a bird's eye view.
Dr. Antje Lechleiter introduced the exhibition.
There was an unusually large crowd at the vernissage on Sunday, October 5. The Freiburg artist Heinrich Mutter, who died in 1999, lives on in his important works. Less well known than his filigree drawings are the watercolors, which were shown for the first time in this concentration and surprised many "Mutter enthusiasts".
Dr. Antje Lechleiter gave an engaging and brilliant introduction to the artist's person and work. She pointed out that Mutter worked figuratively in her early years. However, the contours and lines of the concrete form soon became independent and took on a compositional life of their own. The watercolors were created on Ischia in 1969 and 1970. The "artistic distance" to the drawings of the 1990s is not very great, as Mutter created pictorial structures for both genres, to which he assigned his own aesthetic reality. In the watercolor and in the drawing, parts of the paper remain untreated and thus gain their own colorfulness.
A flute trio from the Südlicher Breisgau music school played classical and baroque pieces.
The former mayor of Bad Krozingen, Ekkehart Meroth, welcomed the guests to the house.
