Information about the artist
|
Werner Lichtner-Aix was born in Berlin in 1939 and died in Munich in 1987. The suffix ‘Aix’ stands for the ‘Apollonian landscape: landscape, stripped of all accessories, laid bare in its essence, radiant in colour’. Lichtner became an engineer and trained as a self-taught painter and graphic artist. Lichtner fled from East to West Berlin in 1961 to continue his studies there. Four years later, he moved to Munich. In 1967, he decided to become a freelance painter and subsequently gave up his job as an engineer at Siemens. From 1970 onwards, Lichtner-Aix spent most of the year in Provence, in Sérignan-du-Comtat. In addition to expanding his studio, the artist discovered the Provençal landscape. From then on, his main concern was the landscape and man, man as part of nature. In 1976, Lichtner-Aix's painting style changed. The colours became more differentiated. With the increasing simplification of the paintings, their concentration on light and colour, they increasingly created their richness from an overpowering, omnipresent light. |
