Friedrich Danielis
Exhibition from 19.10.2022 — 19.11.2022
The capturing of themes in picture cycles is a characteristic of Friedrich Danieli. He was interested in changing and modifying an ongoing basic theme. Within a picture cycle, well thought-out compositions were created in which forms and structures vary again and again. Danielis described his form of painting as a painted set of variations, in which order and freedom, thought and feeling enter into their most manifest relationship. In addition to painting, Friedrich Danielis devoted himself to stage designs, costumes, masks and libretti for musical theater. An essential part of his work are the artist books.
