A Bauhaus-style poster reflecting the character of Wols' work.
Alfred Otto Wols (1913-1951) is a German and French painter, graphic artist, photo artist. One of the brightest representatives of abstract expressionism. He was actively involved in music (violin) and sports, trained to be a photographer. In his photographs of the 1930s, Wols combines Bauhaus realism and surreal innovations.
Distinctive features of the Bauhaus style: form follows function; minimalism; revolutionary fonts; geometric shapes; the main colors are blue, yellow, red.
I think that in character, his paintings are similar to Kandinsky. Rhythm, dynamics, expression!
He painted in spots, lines, which expressed the artist's unconscious activity. I collected it into a single composition. The poster shows stylized things, that are associated with the life of Wols. His creative world!
