After the energetic images that Winter created shortly after his release from Russian captivity, the subjects became freer and more informal. It is as if the artist had left the phase of processing the experiences of war, in order to turn to a freer choice of topics, including a broader variety of colors. For Fritz Winter, our composition shows an unusual bright, light-flooded tone.
As early as in the 1950s, Winter exhibited several times in New York. He showed paintings in the exhibitions "The New Decade" and "German Art of the 20th Century", alongside works by Baumeister, Nay and Schwitters, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1955 and 1957. In 1959 he took part in documenta II in Kassel. By the 1950s the latest, Winter had advanced to become one of the leading representatives of German Informalism and abstract post-war modernism.
