Joachim Klos
Joachim Edgar Klos (born November 16, 1931 in Weida ; † March 15, 2007 in Nettetal ) was a German glass artist and graphic artist . Together with Georg Meistermann , Ludwig Schaffrath , Johannes Schreiter , Wilhelm Buschulte , Hubert Spierling and Jochem Poensgen , he is counted among the most important representatives of modern German glass painting. His works can be found in over 180 sacred, secular and private buildings, most of them on the Lower Rhine and in the Münsterland .
Life
Childhood and studies
Klos was born on November 16, 1931 in Weida , Thuringia . After graduating from school and abandoning an apprenticeship as a painter, in 1947 he began an artistic training course at what was then the State Industrial School in Sonneberg , which was a prerequisite for admission to an art academy. From 1949 to 1951, Klos studied at the State University of Architecture and Fine Arts in Weimar under Professor Martin Domke, a Bauhaus student . It was here that Klos came into contact with the material glass for the first time and worked, among other things, on Domkes competition designs for glass windows in Cologne Cathedral . Due to his artistic orientation and his commitment to a work of art criticized as formalistic , he came into conflict with the system. Despite having passed intermediate exams, he was "informed that his artistic conception did not correspond to the goals of the GDR [...]".
In 1951 he finally fled to the Lower Rhine via West Berlin . Krefeld was both a center of the Bauhaus in West Germany and, since Johan Thorn Prikker, of modern glass painting. Here, where his teacher Domke had already worked during the war , Klos began studying at the Werkkunstschule, now the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, with Gustav Fünders in 1952. He graduated in 1957 as a designer in the glass painting and mosaic department. In Professor Fünders' class, he also met his future wife Carola Stammen, whom he married in 1955. During his studies he already took part in exhibitions in Krefeld and Mönchengladbach , as well as his first orders for glass windows.
Breakthrough and teaching
Klos achieved his final breakthrough as a glass painter with his designs for St. Mary's Assumption in Mönchengladbach (today the City Church). In 1959 he won the competition for the best glass picture of the year for one of the windows, alongside the already established glass painter and professor at the Düsseldorf art academy Georg Meistermann . As a result of the church building boom in the 1960s, Klos received numerous orders for church designs, some of them through competitions. The family had lived in Mönchengladbach since the wedding of the Klos couple. In 1967 he moved to a studio house in Nettetal-Schaag , built by his friend, architect Werner Jorissen , which was to remain his home and workplace until Klo died in 2007.
From 1974 to 1983 he worked as an art teacher at the Werner-Jaeger-Gymnasium Nettetal . In the course of his work, Klos participated in many exhibitions, including international ones, including in 1978 at the Royal Exchange in London . From 1981 he was a visiting lecturer at the West Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education , College of Art and Design in Swansea , where the exhibition "Glass Masters - Contemporary Stained Glass from West-Germany" had already taken place a year before with his participation. Also in 1981 works by Klos were exhibited in Sydney , Canberra , Melbourne and Adelaide . In 1985 he took part in the exhibition "Le vitrail contemporain en Allemagne" in Chartres . In the same year a workshop followed at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington and in 1989 workshops in Melbourne, Sydney, Christchurch , Hanmer Springs and Auckland . The first comprehensive solo exhibition took place in 2002 in the German Glass Painting Museum in Linnich and in the Kalkar Municipal Museum .
Due to severe illness, the artist's high productivity continued to decline in the 1990s and 2000s. The last windows were made in 2006. Joachim Klos died on March 15, 2007 in Nettetal. He is buried in the Nettetal-Schaag cemetery.

The 50s and 60s: "ramifications" and abstract expressionism
The work of Joachim Klos can be divided very well into different phases, which are very different from each other. Early student works are strongly influenced by Expressionism , a development that also continues in his stained glass work. Klos stands both within the expressionist tradition that has been the paradigm of this art form since Johan Thorn Prikker, but at the same time opposes it. His glass windows have a strong color scheme, but almost completely dispense with the figurative representations that were very dominant at this time . Klos himself described this as: "Too much burdened by historicism ."
Instead, in the designs for St. Mary's Assumption, he developed an independent, abstract design language that ran through his work in easily recognizable patterns until the end of the 1960s. In some designs, in spite of the overwhelming renunciation, expressionist figures appear, these are too revolutionary for the time and do not find their way into the churches. The patterns described by Klos as “ramifications”, memories of native Thuringia, of the bright colors of the trees that change with the seasons, establish themselves as a result and form part of a trend towards “Abstract Expressionism” in German glass painting, the In the mid-60s it was reinforced by the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council .
During this time, too, the mastery of concrete glass fell as a creative means, for which Klos and Jochem Poensgen were one of the main people responsible. Even if they are not numerous, works such as the demolished chapel of the old people's home on Bettrather Strasse in Mönchengladbach or the threatened three-dimensional glass walls in Düsseldorf-Urdenbach are extremely important.
The late 60s and 70s: geometry and kinetics in glass
Vatican II was also a turning point for toilets. At the end of the 1960s he developed a new geometric language, his work is now interspersed in the background with strict grid-shaped patterns. These visual poles of calm enable a reduced, but at the same time much more playful foreground that is coordinated with the architecture. Luminous colors retreat to a few prominent places. In St. Nikolaus in Geldern-Walbeck , the baroque organ prospect in the empty church interior of Klos in 1968 inspired the use of symmetrical, architectural pseudo-elements by enlarging, mirroring and partially overlapping as design elements. This collage-like composition of the glass window elements will be one of Joachim Klos' main working techniques until his death.
At the same time, he brings one of the most avant-garde art movements, optical, passive kinetics or Op-Art, to glass painting. Inspired by the works of artists such as Bridget Riley , Jesus Rafael Soto or Heinz Mack and the ZERO group , glass walls are created like in St. Martin in Geldern-Veert, an octagonal building that is characterized on all sides by kinetic lines. As a result, Klos developed the possibility of applying such patterns to glass using a screen printing process . In addition, profane elements such as tree grates, kitchen towels or cobwebs find their way into the glass design work. The parallel U-shapes such as those in St. Heinrich in Reken are also characteristic of the 1970s .
The 80s and the late work: the profane and the liberation of color
Many of the trends from the factory in the 1970s continued into the 1980s. Square grids continue to form the background, the profane can still be found in the form of coffee stains and increasingly text. The windows in the Holy Spirit Church in Essen-Katernberg designed by Gottfried Böhm , St. Arnold Jansen in Goch and the new conception of St. Antonius in Kevelaer that followed the almost complete destruction are among the most important designs of this time .
The predominant design patterns in glass of the late work are in some cases preceded by years of developments in the artist's graphic work. As, for example, in the provost church in Dortmund , in the designs for the Ulm Minster or in the Pauluskirche in Essen-Heisingen , color, especially the primary colors, is once again a more decisive element of the Klos window design. Technically, sandblasting and etching processes now dominate on flashed glass , which enable the color to be “largely freed from the lead line”. This third major phase of work runs, with interruptions and recollections, through the 1990s until the artist's death.
