THEREARL ОТТО GOTZ
käud, 1958 painting technique on canvas
K.O. Götz’s painting process is divided into three stages: The starting point is the meditation of a pictorial scheme, which is “written down” with a brush within seconds. This is followed by a second writing down with the squeegee and a third intervention with the empty brush.
Between the steps there is “control of what has happened, meditation of what is to come” and at the end “recognition or erasure”.
The artist sometimes prepared his paintings mentally with the help of sketches or used them to study the composition afterwards.
