[EB]. • The musical term “Cantus Firmus” finds a visual counterpart in Fruhtrunk’s striped compositions: variations in width and color create a rhythm of their own. • Fruhtrunk’s visual language aims to activate the act of seeing—that “freedom of vision” which emancipates itself from all traditional meanings. • His painting is regarded as one of the most enduring and inspiring positions in German post-war art. • Most recently, the Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Museum Wiesbaden honored him with a retrospective marking the 100th anniversary of his birth; the Lenbachhaus in Munich will dedicate the 2024 exhibition “The Paris Years (1954–1967)” to his years in Paris. We are grateful to Mr. Walter Storms, Munich, for his kind assistance. PROVENANCE: Galerie St. Johann, Saarbrücken. Private collection, Hesse (acquired from the above in 2005. Called up: December 5, 2026 - ca. 16.06 h +/- 20 min.
