This signed limited edition silkscreen, titled "Extra For Max," showcases the artistic prowess of Otmar Alt, a renowned German artist known for his versatile and prolific body of work. Born in Wernigerode in 1940, Alt's artistic journey began at the master school for decorative and applied arts, followed by enrollment at the Berlin Art Academy under the guidance of Professor H. Bachmann. During his time as an academy student, Alt immersed himself in various artistic pursuits, working as a stage-scenery assistant in theatres and embarking on extensive travels to countries like Finland, Greece, Paris, Canada, and the US. In 1965, Alt held his first solo exhibition at Galerie Schütze in Bad Godesberg, showcasing his oil and acrylic paintings. Two years later, he received the prestigious Franz Roh Prize at the Munich exhibition 'Collage 67', marking a significant milestone in his career. Alt's artistic repertoire expanded as he ventured into printmaking techniques, creating reliefs, and sculpting in bronze, plastic, and wood. Drawing inspiration from his training in the decorative and applied arts, Alt extended his creative pursuits to include everyday design, such as toys, porcelain figurines for Rosenthal, and illustrations for children's books. The Extra For Max silkscreen, created in 1972, represents a pivotal moment in Alt's artistic exploration. The artwork combines elements of abstract and figurative styles, reflecting Alt's evolution from abstract paintings influenced by Informel to a unique figuration characterized by puzzles or stained-glass window-like compositions. Mythical beasts and biomorphic archetypes populate his works, creating a fairy-tale pictorial universe that merges with poetic titles, igniting the imagination and fantasies of art lovers. Alt's use of color is a defining aspect of his artistic expression, as seen in the Extra For Max silkscreen. Vibrant hues and subtle tonal variations interplay across the composition, showcasing Alt's mastery of color and painterly techniques. The artwork exudes a sense of joy and playfulness, inviting viewers into a world of visual delight.
