Karl Otto Götz (born 1914)

Karl Otto Götz, also known as K.O. Götz, was born in Aachen in 1914 and is considered the main exponent of the German abstract and Informel art. Götz attended the arts college in Aachen and primarily occupied himself with the avant-garde painting. His early work was characterized by Expressionism and Surrealism, and was influenced by works of Max Ernst, Juan Gris, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. In the 1950s, he began with the dissolution of forms and figures. Two years later, he started to produce works in the Informel style and mixed technique, which made him internationally the most important exponent of the Informel and action painting. In his late creative period, he is concerned with historical and contemporary events, which he implements in his typical style of painting. (fea)
