Classical Modernism
Hennig, Albert
Abstract composition. 1970s. Watercolour and fibre-tip pen on vellum. 11 x 14.2 cm. Signed. Mounted at selected points on a backing and set within a passe-partout. – Slight studio marks on the reverse. Overall in very good condition. An atmospheric and colour-rich work.
Due to the way the work was cropped, the sheet is not rectangular. - From 1932, Albert Hennig studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau under, amongst others, Josef Albers. Influenced by his friendship with Max Schwimmer, the artist first turned to the technique of watercolour in 1949, which soon became his preferred artistic medium. Our small-format drawing reveals a composition that unfolds freely yet is structured by the line, rendered in richly coloured watercolour.
