plant

Gebhardt was best known for his color graphics ( linocut , woodcut , screen printing ). These show landscapes and still lifes, city motifs and figurative scenes, often from the subject areas of sport and dance. Painting played a subordinate role in his overall work and his drawings, which he made with pen, brush, chalk, pastel, pencil and the frottage technique, were mainly used to prepare his printing work.

reception

"Helmut Gebhardt's technical medium is the colored linocut, the preferred working method is printing in serial variations, which gives the individual print its unique color peculiarity ... Gebhardt most consistently carries on the graphic impulses that came from Wilhelm Lachnit in Dresden ; suggestions from Hermann Glöckner cannot be overlooked either. "
