Joseph Winkler, born in 1925, who returned to painting only after his retirement, showcases in his work Untitled (1990) the expressiveness of an artist who is uncompromisingly committed to abstraction. Winkler's distinctive style, which developed over more than three decades, combines dense layers of acrylic, sand, and various materials, giving the paintings an almost sculptural quality. The radical reduction in this work conveys a strong, meditative calm, while the layering of acrylic reveals the dynamics of a constantly moving creative process.
