Gottfried Graf
Mädchen mit Abendstern
Description
Gottfried Graf was a student of Adolf Hölzel at the Stuttgart Academy of Art, as were his fellow students Johannes Itten, Oskar Schlemmer and Hermann Stenner. The composition, characterised by flat, geometric areas of colour, captivates with its strong colour contrasts and transcendental mood.
