Light Rain. 1976.
Gouache, fire and smoke.
Signed and dated in the lower right, as well as titled in the lower left. On cardboard. 48 x 68 cm (18.8 x 26.7 in), the full sheet. [KA].
- The combination of fire and smoke makes for this marevlous example of a typical Piene "Fire Gouache“.
- Perfectly balanced interplay of intense colors, composition and texture.
- Right after this work was created in 1977, Piene participated in Documenta 6 in Kassel.
- Otto Piene was a key protagonist of the ZERO group.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Lower Saxony.
"Fire, smoke and light are creative elements in Otto Piene's art that act in concert, parallel media striving for the same goal. What they have in common is both an elementary and a transindividual notion, the externalization [sic] of an intention that increasingly aims at the authenticiy of the artistic creation."
Udo Kultermann, quoted from: Otto Piene. Retrospektive 1952-1996, Düsseldorf 1996, p. 27
In good condition. With slight mount staining.
