Drei Gruppen mit grnem Zentrum 1952

Richard Paul Lohse made "Drei Gruppen mit grunem Zentrum" using oil paint, and it's a painting that hums with the quiet energy of pure color relationships. It's like he's set up a game for our eyes, where each square and rectangle of color nudges against its neighbor, creating a sense of balance, but also a subtle visual vibration. Looking closely, you can see the texture of the paint – it's not trying to hide, but has this gentle, matte surface. The colors feel like they've been chosen with precision, each one playing a specific role in the overall composition. I’m particularly drawn to how the central yellow square resonates against the darker greens, it almost seems to glow. It reminds me a bit of Josef Albers, especially how he explored the way colors change and affect each other. Lohse’s painting invites us to slow down, to really see how colors interact, how they push and pull and create a kind of silent, visual music. There's no one right way to experience it, just an open invitation to see and feel.
