• Mattheuer plays with light and shadow, colors, shapes, and perspective on a complex narrative level.
• One year earlier, the artist also used the motif in a woodcut of the same name (Gleisberg/Seyde 147 IV + Koch/Grimm 188-3).
• In the mid-1960s, Mattheuer had his breakthrough: in 1965, the Staatliche Galerie Moritzburg in Halle was the first museum to acquire one of his works.
• Mattheuer is a leading representative of the Leipzig School
.
