vincent weber (1902 - 1990)
Vincent Weber was a German painter.
Weber's work was initially influenced by the avant-garde views of his teachers at the Bauhaus. His early experimental material collages attacked conventional ways of seeing and challenged the traditions of the institution of art. Later, he turned to more conventional representations that did not even stop at the decorative.
Weber's work stands in contrast to the development of art in the 20th century: while 20th century art takes the path from aestheticism to the anarchic avant-garde, Weber takes this path back: from anarchic-avant-garde aesthetic opposition to aesthetic-decorative art.
