[no title] Possibly 1946 - 1983

Editor: This untitled print by Karl-Otto Götz, created in 1983, utilizes stark black ink. It feels very spontaneous and expressive. What strikes you most about the composition? Curator: The emphasis falls on the interplay between positive and negative space, wouldn't you agree? Note the rhythmic arrangement of forms, how they activate the surface with a kinetic energy, a dance between chaos and order. Editor: Yes, I see that now. The textures create visual interest, too. It reminds me a bit of automatic drawing. Curator: Precisely. It prompts us to consider the formal properties – line, shape, texture – that constitute its visual language. A captivating exercise in abstract expression. Editor: This discussion has enhanced my appreciation for pure form. Curator: And mine for the power of intuitive mark-making.
