Comment:
Above:
Hölzel's moody landscape "Dnchauer Moos" is typical of the artist's pre-abstract work. Around 1905, before following a call to Stuttgart, he started painting colourful canvasses, several years before Kandinsky.
See one of his late works (1930), set against the AstroPic "Holographic Principle." -- Notr: The NY dada Baroness Else von Freytag-Loringhoven (FrL) was one of his pupilsin Dachau in 1900.
