Entym 1986

Karl Otto Götz created "Entym" using printing techniques, though the exact date remains unknown. Götz's work emerged in the post-war era, reflecting a desire to break from traditional artistic conventions. As part of the Informel movement, Götz embraced spontaneity and abstraction, channeling raw emotion onto the canvas, or, in this case, the print. The swirling lines and clashing colors can evoke a sense of chaos or turbulence, mirroring the fractured state of a world recovering from conflict. Yet, within this apparent disarray, there's also a sense of liberation, as if Götz sought to dismantle the constraints of the past and forge a new path forward. Götz once said that his aim was to "capture the energy of life itself." His prints encapsulate this idea, inviting viewers to confront their own feelings about change, uncertainty, and the ever-evolving human condition. In this way, Götz’s work provides a lens through which to consider the complexities of identity and experience.
