  • Town on a Slope

    Town on a Slope

  • Sextet

    Sextet

    Inspired by interwoven patterns of music by J.S. Bach. Six linear geometrical forms overlap as six instruments play different, non-conflicting melodies in space and time. Perhaps I was ready to shake off old restrictions but still keeping structure and composition. Oil on canvas board / 76cm x 55cm / 1958

  • Self-Portrait

    Self-Portrait

    Although formally related to Cubism, it is of representational character. This painting stems from a time before travelling to Canada.

  • Pompeii’s Destruction
