LITERATURE: Johannes Grützke, Misch Du Dich nicht auch noch ein. Gemälde, Pastelle, Zeichnungen, Grafik und Texte 1964-1979, Frankfurt/Main 1979, p. 234 (with illu.).
Grützke executed this work not in the classic characteristic duct and perspective of Realism, he allows the depicted persons their own artistic view. Placed in front of a mirror showing a classy ambience, the Wolfensberger family is portrayed with a dog and a bronze by Dimitri Chiparus, their eyes turned to the observer - just like for a photograph - a contrived reality, fully in the sense of Grützke's imagery at that time. [DB].
