The significance of Günter Fruhtrunk’s work in the realm of abstract art has hitherto been apparent to only a small circle of admirers and thus still needs to be made known to a wider audience. Fruhtrunk’s uncompromising approach and his independent stance proffer an alternative to eyes that in this day and age are constantly overwhelmed with images. The pictures, which were composed with rigour, objectivity, and precision, and deliberately designed to irritate the visual faculties, confront the beholder with fundamental questions concerning perception and contemplation. Early in his career Fruhtrunk was inspired by Malevich and the Constructivist school. He was subsequently influenced by Jean Arp and Fernand Léger and attained to a very personal and intimate style which, within a closed system of pictorial techniques, also strove for expressive freedom. The work of Fruhtrunk can be described as both classical and contemporary, inasmuch as it focuses on art as art, just as on many other things.
