Theodor WERNER (1886-1969 b Jettenburg, Württemberg, 14 Feb 1886; d Munich, 15 Jan 1969). German painter. He trained at the State Academy of Fine Arts, Stuttgart (1908?9), before traveling in Europe (1909?14). Having served during World War I, he returned to Stuttgart, moving to Paris in 1930. There he began for the first time to escape the various European artistic influences of the age, particularly those of Paul Cézanne and Juan Gris, towards whose work he had been vaguely orientating his paintings. He joined the group Abstraction?Création. Without abandoning his figurative means of representation, the basic elements of his work circled around his central artistic concern, the complementary function of figure and ground, line and surface.
