As part of his large-scale project ‘Idee Konkrete Zeichnungen’, Manfred Luther developed several groups of works. In the ink drawings and screen prints of the ‘Paraphrases’, created between 1970 and 1985, Manfred Luther combined simple geometric shapes, such as squares, triangles and circles, in ever-changing variations, revealing – despite the rigour of form – an extraordinary zest for play and a passion for composition.
