Living beings and natural processes on the one hand, and humans and cultural processes on the other, form important themes in Frank Zucht's work. Possible parallels and contradictions in their development are discussed in the depictions of breeding. Animal and human, natural and artificial forms merge into one another in numerous pictures by Frank Zucht. The pictorial inventions have something archaic about them in that he alludes to the evolutionary development of humans. Humans and animals are closely connected in his depictions. Man always carries evolutionary development with him. Zucht's pictures are a lasting plea to always be aware of this. The forms with realistic echoes come from an abstract approach, whereby the form found is derived from the representational. Both design principles are combined in his work.
