life and work

“The decisive factor in Winzer's works is their importance as painting.” ( Max Imdahl ) Born in Berlin in 1937, Icke Winzer studied painting with Arnold Bode in Kassel. His non-representational, large-format pictures are overwhelming with their absolute color effect and the dialogue between painterly positions and surfaces, between near and far view.

As early as 1974 the Institute of Contemporary Art in London showed this unconventional and uncompromising painter in a solo exhibition. Numerous exhibitions followed. His paintings can be found in well-known public collections such as the Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf, the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt am Main and the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. In 1993 the State Museum Schwerin honored the artist with a large retrospective and shows works from the oeuvre block in the museum's permanent exhibition.
