About Gerhard Fietz

  • Biography

    Gerhard Fietz was born in 1910, in Breslau, Germany. He was one of the main 20th century painters in Germany and co-founder of the artist group 'Zen 49.' Gerhard pleaded against the traditional figurative art and, like his fellow artists Willi Baumeister, Fritz Winter and Rupprecht Geiger, developed a style of painting that focused on the exploration of artistic means. Color, line and form in space became the sole subject matter. Gerhard Fietz died in 1997, in Bleckede, in the district of Göddingen, Germany.
