The strikingly fresh choice of colors in paintings by Ida Kerkovius is largely due to the influence of Adolf Hoelzel, whereas the rather unconventional arrangement of the image is owed to the artist’s own ingenuity. In her work’s two-dimensionality Ida Kerkovius displays a world of forms and colors that requires sound knowledge of the laws of composition and colors, as well as a great degree of artistic intuition. With her authentic style the artist is far from insisting on special intricacies of interpretation. Her work’s seemingly easy comprehension should be sign enough for the observer to understand there is more to find in her composition than the ostensible. [KD].
