"Die Ungeduld der Gegenstände, das zu sein, was wir fürchten zu tun"

• Characteristic large-scale work in the artist’s favoured primary colours of blue, yellow and red • In the artist’s unmistakable, furious and gestural style • Stöhrer is one of the outstanding German post-war artists beyond the Informel movement Even his later works, such as ‘The Impatience of Objects to Be What We Fear to Do’, bear Walter Stöhrer’s unmistakable signature. He paints in a gestural, impassioned style on large canvases, predominantly in the primary colours of blue, yellow and red, whilst frequently leaving the white ground of the canvas exposed. In this instance, an additional dimension is introduced, as the hardly legible title of the work becomes a key compositional element. Stöhrer was influenced from an early age by the American artists Cy Twombly and Jackson Pollock, as well as by the figurative works of Pierre Alechinsky and Asger Jorn. What makes his eruptive swathes of colour and his very honest style of painting so distinctive, however, is that they follow a compelling, unique and ‘figurative’ path of their own. The expressive, gestural quality and the consistently figurative element – which are, in fact, almost impossible to reconcile in art produced after 1945 – are brought together by Stöhrer with great painterly power. | 1937 Stuttgart - Scholderup 2000 | Zeitgenössische Kunst | Gemälde | Nummer: 25x1711 | Provenance: Galerie Georg Nothelfer, Berlin; Privatsammlung, Süddeutschland.
