Walter Stöhrer is one of the "rebellious loners" in German art. As a major exponent of gestural-figurative painting, he left a lasting mark on the national art scene. "I am not an abstract painter, I am a figurative painter", Stöhrer has said about himself, and he consequently defines his very personal, emotionally charged artistic approach as "intrapsychic realism". Characteristic of his works is the colour-intensive, free interplay of painting, writing and drawing with figurative and expressive-gestural means of expression. Literary texts - especially ancient philosophers and French surrealists - but also musical ideas often provided him with inspiration for his painterly and graphic works.
