In the summer of 2007, Peter Herrmann spent four weeks at the Le Querce vineyard in Umbria. There he created a cycle of drawings, which we are also presenting to the public; the catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition is dedicated to this cycle.
Michael Freitag writes about the drawings:
"(...) An old work emerges, light, fine, from the pleasure that renunciation means if you want it. The colour, otherwise the most insistent signal in a sparkling pictorial event, arranged outside of any perceptibility - here it gives only coolness, translucency, backlight. The south is no longer in the motif, but in the knowledge that art is not needed here. The view is minimised without impoverishing the picture. It's beautiful because it's quiet."
michael Freitag spoke at the opening on Friday, 15 June 2012.
