Fritz Kohlstädt (1921 Stuttgart - 2000 Pforzheim) "Village street in Düffelward". Original title Flatly composed, brightly colored landscape with a view of the village of Düffelward on the Lower Rhine, which belongs to Kleve. Kohlstädt received his artistic training from 1946-1948 under Walter Romberg and Rudolf Müller in Stuttgart. Kohlstädt's oeuvre was influenced by the works of the Expressionists (especially the "Brücke" painters such as Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Emil Nolde), Edvard Munch, Lovis Corinth and the Fauvists, who were once again accessible after the Nazi era. In 1958, he founded the "Sindelfingen Secession" as a spin-off of the Stuttgart Artists' Association, and since the end of the 1950s he has had numerous solo exhibitions. On study trips, the late landscape expressionist was fascinated not only by the Lower Rhine, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, but also by the rugged coasts of Norway, Normandy and Brittany.
