Emil Schumacher
1912 - 1999
Kalil. 1989.
Oil on panel.
With a label on the reverse of the stretcher inscribed with details of the work in typography. 77.5 x 88.5 cm (30.5 x 34.8 in).

• In Emil Schumacher’s work, form and color become a sensory experience.
• A pronounced dialectic between graphic dynamism and a monochromatic color field in luminous blue.
• The artistic endeavor of this important representative of the Informel movement—to shape color as matter—becomes virtually tangible through the relief-like surface.
• In family ownership since its creation, now offered on the international auction market for the first time.
The work is registered in the archive of the Emil Schumacher Foundation, Hagen, established by Dr. Ulrich Schumacher, under the inventory number “0/357".
PROVENANCE: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (gifted by the artist in 1989, in the family’s possession ever since).
Quote Ernst-Gerhard Güse, Das Erlebnis des Unbekannten, Ostfildern 2012, p. 108.
