Leo Erb: Tektonisch I Serigraph on foil 59 x 41,5 cm Editor: edition hoffmann Edition of 100 Signed, dated and numbered Showing slight signs of wear - see pictures - Otherwise good Leo Erb (1923–2012) was a German painter, sculptor, and object artist known for his rigorous concentration on the line as an essential artistic element. He studied at the School for Art and Handcraft in Saarbrücken, where he became acquainted with the Bauhaus teaching methods under Boris Kleint. In 1957, he co-founded the avant-garde "Neue Gruppe Saar." Erb’s pivotal work, beginning around 1958, included his structured "Linienbilder" (Line Paintings) and "Linienreliefs" (Line Reliefs). His monochromatic art, often in white, focuses entirely on the interplay of line, light, and shadow, making the works simultaneously flat and spatial. His work placed him in the orbit of the European ZERO movement. He lived in Paris from 1961 to 1975 and participated in the documenta 6 exhibition in Kassel in 1977.
