Manfred Mohr — 2/4 Mohr studied Art and Design, first in Pforzheim and then in Barcelona after receiving a scholarship. Afterwards he relocated to Paris and finally to New York in 1981. Mohr started as a classic abstract painter at the beginning of the 60s. His early tempera on canvas works were inspired by fellow German "Art Informel" painter K.R.H. Sonderborg. Over the years his style became more graphical and transformed into geometric hard-edge paintings that freed themselves even more from being representations of anything than the signs and symbols themselves. L: g63007, tempera on canvas, 1963 R: Konkreter Text, temera on canvas, 1967
