Eveline Krumnau - Untitled

The work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.

Eveline Krumnau's style is grounded in color, texture, and painterly gesture. These three elements combine on the medium to create compositions in which form takes a backseat, giving way to an unleashing of creative energy. Even though these completely abstract compositions seem to maintain a certain sense of geometry and compositional balance, the artist somehow seeks to channel her creative flow by arranging her material with a certain rationality.

Eveline Krumnau is an artist originally from Silesia, born in 1930. From her childhood, spent in Berlin, she felt a passion for art. During the war, having fled to the Carpathian Mountains, she was fascinated by a work featuring blue and yellow tones, which would remain a constant in her work. Upon returning to Berlin, she attended the Academy's School of Graphics and Drawing. After her father's death, she moved with her mother to Peru to live with her maternal uncle and aunt. This radical change in lifestyle, customs, and traditions would profoundly influence her artistic career. After marrying an Italian, she moved to Italy, where her artistic career would continue to develop.
