Description

This exceptional early work from 1974 already reveals key elements of Heinz Möseneder’s later visual language. In this watercolour, vibrant shades of yellow, orange and green come together to form a fluid composition full of warmth and vitality. Transparent layers of colour, gentle transitions and curved forms create a harmonious movement that unfolds around the bright, radiant centre of the picture. Light, colour and form merge into a single entity in which new beginnings, growth and inner balance come together.

The work took on special significance when it adorned the background of the commemorative clock marking the artist’s 50th birthday. Until recently, this personal and art-historically significant watercolour was considered not for sale. The period in which it was created, its extraordinary use of colour and its close connection to Heinz Möseneder’s life story make it a rare testament to his early artistic output.
