Heinz Fischer-Roloff (1923-2004) - Combo

An early characteristic work by the German artist Heinz Fischer‑Roloff (1923–2004) from 1952. Titled “Combo,” the painting shows an abstracted depiction of a jazz ensemble, reduced to clear forms, rhythmic lines, and a harmoniously coordinated color palette. The composition conveys movement, musicality, and the Fischer‑Roloff typical combination of structure and free gesture.

The back carries several handwritten notes by the artist, including name, address, title and year, which further emphasize authenticity. There is also the printed studio number “52 001,” presumably applied with an adjustable numbering stamp. The combination of year and the running number 001 suggests that this is very likely one of the artist’s very first internally registered works from 1952.

Additionally, a later artist catalog from the 1980s is included (“The Poetry of Collage,” Contemporary Artists, Volume 8), which presents another phase of Fischer‑Roloff’s work and thus provides an expanded insight into the development of his oeuvre.
