Zentralgestaltung. 1951.
Oil on burlap.
Monogrammed "TRR" in center of right margin. 69 x 54 cm (27.1 x 21.2 in).
• Early work from the important Austrian avant-garde artist.
• A visit of a Tachism exhibition at Galerie Nina Dausset in Paris in 1951 inspired Rainer to examine of the priciples of automatism and blind painting.
• Rainer's drawings form in his mind, he then creates central and vertical lines according to his physical gesture.
• The rhythmic lines suggest short and long, as well as soft gestures.
We are grateful to the Studio Rainer for the kind expert advice.

Private collection (acquired from the above in 2003).
