From 1950 onward, a radical change took place in Schumacher's oeuvre, which increasingly abandoned the object as a motif and opted for the expressive power of painting itself. This stylistic change took place against the backdrop of a contemporary style influenced by the French École de Paris, Tachism and American Action Painting. Schumacher added sand to the paint, in order to achieve the greatest possible materiality. The dualism of ground and painterly form is abolished by the impasto painting medium. The color becomes tangible in his works, not only visually but also haptically. The extremely impasto, linear painting itself can then rely on the already existing spatial material effect of the support. Schumacher's canvases gain plasticity. As the present work also shows, the painting is no longer understood as a window into a fantasized reality in a Renaissance sense; instead, the canvas becomes a carrier of materiality. [SM]
