About this work
Overview
Created in 1993 by Brigitta Glatt, the work titled Bild, Viel Gras und Liebe II consists of six compact panels arranged in a two‑by‑three grid. The panels are unified by a palette of warm hues, yellow, orange, red, and occasional black marks. The piece is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
Within the grid, the central panels introduce figurative elements: a stylised human face and a hand grasping a bird, juxtaposed against surrounding abstract configurations. These recognisable forms inject a subtle human presence into an otherwise non‑representational field, suggesting a dialogue between personal gesture and broader visual rhythm.
Technique & Style
Glatt employs flat areas of saturated colour combined with gestural black lines, creating a sense of kinetic energy across the small surfaces. The abstract shapes, geometric and organic, are rendered with minimal detailing, while the figurative inserts retain a simplified, almost emblematic quality, reinforcing the work’s balance between abstraction and representation.
History & Provenance
Since its completion in the early 1990s, Bild, Viel Gras und Liebe II has been held by the Museum of Ethnography. The acquisition reflects the institution’s interest in contemporary visual practices that intersect with ethnographic themes, though specific details of its purchase or prior exhibition history are not recorded in the available sources.
