When the four art students Dieter Asmus , Peter Nagel , Nikolaus Störtenbecker and Dietmar Ullrich met at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg from 1962 to 1965 , it was under the impression that their needs and their perception of art did not come from their teachers and Find fellow students represented. In the winter of 1964/65 they jointly wrote the ZEBRA Manifesto No. 1, which was titled "The NEW REALISM".

Photographs and drawings formed the basis for Ullrich's painting. The first paintings show portraits of children and groups with gymnasts or football players who are held in running movements or jumping. In these works, the application of paint is even thicker, the brushwork more often visible. From 1968 the figures are formed with plastic hardness, are sharply contoured and the colors are smoothly distributed. The representation appears cool, the picture elements are clearly arranged in terms of form. Natural elements such as fire or water and materials such as cardboard, curtains, pillows, balls or stones are added as subjects. Typical works of those years are free balloon from 1977, oil on canvas, 135 × 155 cm, which is owned by the Jaeschke Collection, or Strandleben from 1985/1986, oil on canvas, 140 × 210 cm, which is owned by the Kunstforum der Ostdeutsche Gallery is located in Regensburg. Lately the application of paint has become more pastose again, so that the objects depicted emerge from the surface in a relief-like manner.
