Theodor Werner

Theodor Werner was a German painter born on February 10, 1886, in Jetzendorf, Germany, and he passed away on December 10, 1969, in Stuttgart, Germany. Werner was a prominent figure in the abstract art movement, particularly known for his contributions to post-war abstract painting in Germany. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and later became associated with the avant-garde group "ZEN 49," which played a significant role in the revival of abstract art in Germany after World War II. Werner's work is characterized by its vibrant use of color and dynamic compositions, reflecting a departure from representational art towards a more expressive and non-objective style. His impact on the art world is noted for bridging pre-war and post-war artistic expressions, influencing a generation of artists in the mid-20th century.
