Art exhibition: Otto Nebel. Color Language Form
Overview
Intro
He combined literature and painting in his own way.
Otto Nebel was both a painter and a poet. In his work, color, word and form belong closely together. Like many artists of his time, he searched for new forms of expression and combined literature and painting in his own unique way.
In Berlin, he belonged to the artists' group "Der Sturm". In 1919, while a prisoner of war, he wrote the anti-war poem Zuginsfeld. He later invented his own "runic language", in which letters, rhythm and sound became images.
Nebel was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and found a new home with his wife Hilda in Bern. He lived there under difficult conditions, supported by friends and a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation.
He shared a deep spiritual affinity with Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. Trips to Italy shaped his theory of color, in which light and structure became "architectural structures of meaning". His cathedral paintings and later rune paintings show the search for harmony, spirituality and freedom.
An exhibition of the Spiez Castle Foundation in collaboration with the Otto Nebel Foundation Bern.
