This color screenprint shows a strictly geometric, constructive composition: against a luminous orange ground, three parallelogram-shaped bands in green, red, and white combine into a dynamic configuration striving arrow-like to the right. From the precise arrangement and the play of direction and color, an impression of movement and balanced tension emerges. The sheet is a characteristic example of Anton Stankowski's systematic, constructive visual language. The print was published in 2002 by the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg e.V. and is signed.
About the Artist Anton Stankowski
The Deutsche Bank logo, the visual identity for the city of Berlin: Anton Stankowski (1906–1998) is regarded as one of the most important pioneers of constructive graphic art. Shaped by a clear, geometric formal language, he translated concepts and processes into reduced, precise pictorial signs — and deliberately drew no line between free and applied art. After training as a decorative painter and studying at the Folkwangschule in Essen, Stankowski settled in Stuttgart, which became his long-time base. In 1983 he established the Stankowski Foundation, which to this day honours artists who unite free and applied art. His work left a lasting mark on modern graphic design in Germany.
