Wols

Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze, better known by his pseudonym Wols, is an eminent German artist whose work has had a significant influence on modern art. He was known for his abstract paintings, graphics and photography.

Wols' oeuvre was marked by an experimental approach and a distinctive style. The artist used unusual techniques such as spatula, drop, splatter and graphic elements to create an atmosphere of abstraction and unreality. His work was filled with emotional tension and intense effects of light and shadow.

Wols experimented with shapes and structures, creating paintings that at times seemed mystical and mysterious. He worked masterfully with contrasts and unusual compositions, which gave his works a unique and energetic quality. His work was an important contribution to the development of abstract art in post-war Germany.

Wols also showed a talent for photography, creating remarkably expressive and intriguing black and white images. He skillfully played with light and shadow to capture the moment and convey emotion.
