In "Alter Sessel" zeigt Fritz Klemm ein ruhiges, nahezu meditatives Stillleben: Ein frontal dargestellter Sessel mit dekorativer Rückenlehne steht fest im Bildraum. Der ornamentale Bezug in warmen Ockertönen wirkt fast symbolisch, während ein Teppich im Vordergrund - leicht verrutscht - eine stille Verschiebung und Tiefe ins Bild bringt. Die Komposition lebt von geometrischer Klarheit und einer reduzierten, flächigen Farbgebung.

Das Werk entstand ein Jahr bevor Fritz Klemm zum Professor an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe berufen wurde. Es gehört noch dem traditionellen Kunstbegriff an, in dem das einzelne Bild als einzigartiges, abgeschlossenes Werk gedacht ist. Erst später wandte sich Klemm seriellen Arbeitsweisen zu. "Alter Sessel" steht somit exemplarisch für eine Phase, in der Klemm noch der Idee des autonomen Kunstwerks verpflichtet war - und zugleich bereits formale Wege in eine neue Richtung einschlägt.
