Original watercolor - from the estate of the internationally known artist
Hans Graeder was an obsessive, driven artist, he created numerous works, especially in his late work, which mostly dealt with portraits and the female nude or sexuality
He tried to combine different techniques, from watercolor to lithography, to the use of photocopies, which he often cut up, recolored and combined with other techniques into collages
Often it is not always easy to recognize which techniques he used for the leaves
Graeder studied in Mannheim and Munich with Carl Trummer and Hans Gött and emigrated to the USA in 1953, where he became friends with Henry Miller
He also exhibited in Germany, including at documenta 7
He later returned to Mannheim, where the highly acclaimed RE-VISIONEN exhibition took place in the Mannheim Kunsthalle in 1990
