Description
Subject Matter:
Rolf Cavael was a founding member of Zen 49, a group of German artists that were inspired by the basic concepts of Zen Buddhism. They formed in 1949 with the goal of creating a post-war art style that was specific to Germany. Cavael's work both with the group and before its formation was highly abstract and non-representational like this untitled print.
