Details:
Paul Gruhler (20th century)
Paul Gruhler is an American self-taught contemporary artist. Throughout his career, Gruhler has explored the endless compositional variations achievable in a powerfully focused set of three simple shapes: square, rectangle, and a line of varying sizes, sometimes tilted along their axis, held suspended. His paintings are dominated by solid primary colors, varying in tone and hue. He has adhered to geometric abstraction and has endless admiration for color and shape. Elements of Gruhler’s approach are reflected in the color-saturated work of Mark Rothko or in the analytical limited color geometry of the German abstractionist Josef Albers.
