Hans Vincenz 1959, Gouache
|
A one-man
show of the contemporary German painter Hans Vincenz will open
a month‘s stay June 19 as the major
summer offering at Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. Arrangements to
display the 37 gouaches representing Vincenz first Dallas exhibit
were made by director Jerry Bywaters during his trip to Europe
last summer.
Vincenz, born in Cologne in 1900, has been painting for about 40
years. His work has gone. Through three definite stages of development
of his work in the 20‘s, the artist has said: “Pictures
in dark, earthen colours characterize this first period . … figures,
ships and scenery of rivers.“
In the 30‘s Vincenz began to produce works “in pure
colour, flat and often mural-like in character.“
Following World War II, he experimented with assorted styles, leading
to his current non-objective statements. His current pre occupation
with structure and colour will be reflected in the recent canvases
to be shown here. |
In addition to the Vincenz
show, DMFA will, also present later in the summer two broad surveys —one
of prints, the other of drawings—from the permanent collection.
