Fritz Glarner
Glarner is one of the many artists who were inspired by the
Bauhaus and followed many of the rules and styles created by the Bauhaus. As
you can see in the work has also had a very strong influence of Piet Mondrian,
in use of colour and lines. However unlike Mondrian Glarner introduced diagonal
lines into the work, which created a symmetrical and structured composition.
The composition is very architectural and structured, but is
clearly very abstract from the actual object that it is supposed to be based
on. Like Mondrian there is a very limited colour pallet, using only the three
primary colours, white and black. However changing Mondrian's black into a
range of greys which helped create space within the painting as well as depth
into the work. Glarner wanted to take Mondrian's work a step further; he wanted
it to achieve more spacial depth.
I wanted to look at his work because I want to introduce
lines into my work because I think it will add another dimension into my work
and like Glarner hope it will create space and depth to my work. This is where
I will progress this week with my work introducing more lines.
