He was fascinated by the informal structures that occurred through the execution of fast sweeping turns which corresponded exactly with his ideas of contemporary, abstract art. Hence, he decided to continue with this specific painting technique and gained particular international fame for his characteristic paintings and gouaches. The painting is signed 'K. O. Götz' and verso signed 'K. O. Götz' as well as titled and dated 'O. T., 2002'. It is overall in very good condition. The small-sized canvas is mounted on a support and framed.

Götz, was born in Aachen in 1914 and is considered as the main representative of the German abstract and Art Informel . Götz attended the arts college in Aachen and occupied there primarily with the avant-garde painting. His early work was characterized by Expressionism and Surrealism, and was influenced by works of Max Ernst, Juan Gris, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. In the 1950s he increasingly began with the dissolution of forms and figures. Two years later he began to produce works in an Informel style and mixed technique, which made him internationally the most important representative of the Art Informel and action painting. In his late creative period he is concerned with historical events, which he implements in his typical style of painting.
