About the artist:

Fritz Genkinger was a German artist . After his youth and training in Nürtingen, he turned to studying art in Karlsruhe, where he was accepted into HAP Grieshaber 's class with well-known artists such as Horst Antes , Heinz Schanz and Hans Martin Erhardt . Extensive and diverse artistic work began that lasted until the end. His Cosmic Figure, created in 1962, is characteristically an artificial figure, reduced to the essentials of life, to the head and torso. The “artificiality” of his figures is an essential means of expression, artificiality in the choice of colors, in stylization and image detail. Fritz Genkinger's pictures are often polar images: decay, die away and break up, male and female, inside and outside, reason and emotion. Ambiguity and complexity are among Fritz Genkinger's basic principles. He said: “Science, our rational analytical perspective, is just a section of reality; it does not capture the whole, not the whole person, not all dimensions
