Ulrich Erben is a renowned master of color-field painting in Germany. His early landscapes are the point of depature for all his oevre. His works exhibit formal color references and focus on the relationship of the depicted three-dimensional shape to the flat plane of a canvas. At the end of the 1960s, Erben began to the move away from the formal landscape also while abandoning the complexities of color, The motive, which was used as a basis over the years, was suddenly a ¬nuisance, even unnecessary." The result of Erben's moving away realist forms is the series "White Images," which where exhibited at documenta 6 (1977) in Kassel. At the time Ulrich Erben personal style was associated with the genre of analytic painting. His so-called white works are by no means monochromatic images
