Fritz Winter
(1905-1976)
Fritz Winter is considered one of the most outstanding artists of the German post-war abstract movement.
After his studies at the Bauhaus with Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Oskar Schlemmer, Winter painted exclusively abstract from around 1930 onwards. From the 1950s and 1960s onwards, Fritz Winter began to explore the newer trends of Art Informel and colour field painting and developed his own basic artistic form concept, which is a central element in all his works. During this period, he also took part in the first three documenta exhibitions in Kassel.
Works of art by Fritz Winter can be found in numerous renowned museums, such as the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlung in Munich and the Städel Museum in Frankfurt as well as many private collections.
