Gerson Fehrenbach
Gerson Fehrenbach was a German sculptor.
Stylistically, Fehrenbach's sculptures can be classified as Informel. He processed the study of nature and ancient art together with suggestions from classical modernism and influences from his teacher Karl Hartung to create an individual pictorial language.
He processed his impressions into autonomous, organically proliferating forms based on intensive study of nature. Many of his works are characterised by horizontal and vertical axes on the one hand and "knob-like" protrusions on the other. His main materials were stone, bronze and concrete. Fehrenbach took his motifs from mythology and religion.
