This double portrait of his father shows Arno as an expressive realist and it is obvious that there is an influence from paintings of tragic people, created by Carl Hofer, whose master pupil he had become after former studies in the painting class of the expressionist painter Georg Tappert. The years 1953 - 54 can be characterized as a period of transition with abstract-surrealistic paintings. From the year 1954 he turned to non-representational art - Hofer was not amused - and started to develop formal inventions of his own and is still searching for the unknown: Either happens something of interest or stupidity comes out.(Arno) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
