plant
Heinsohn developed an individually expressive , increasingly abstract style. Untreated, coarse sackcloth is typical as the painting ground, the tint of which is integrated into the composition. In addition to paintings and watercolors, he also produced colored drawings, often in smaller formats. Heinsohn also dealt with theoretical problems of color and with architectural designs.
