[no title] 1970

Editor: This print by Gerd Winner features a symmetrical rendering of a tank. The composition is so intricate, almost ornamental. What are your thoughts on this work? Curator: The mirroring certainly draws attention to the object's inherent geometry, transforming a war machine into a study of form. Notice how the artist meticulously renders the textures, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. Editor: So, it's less about the tank itself and more about how it's presented? Curator: Precisely. Winner encourages us to engage with the visual elements – line, shape, texture – devoid of immediate context. The formal qualities take precedence. Editor: I hadn’t considered that approach. Thanks for illuminating the details of Winner's composition. Curator: My pleasure. It is through this intense focus on structure that we appreciate the artist's vision.
