It was the means and the goal of his work, not only in his paintings but also in most of the gouaches, watercolors, and drawings. This publication presents a good 110 works on paper, reflecting the development of the artist throughout his career. From the 1937 images of Lofoten, with their intense depictions of nature, to the postwar \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eHecate\u003c\/I\u003e pictures, which still contain figurative elements, the energy of the colors can be seen as they continue to unfold ever more freely in the subsequent \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eFugal\u003c\/I\u003e paintings. In 1955 the disc became his predominant visual motif, and Nay guided the colors to create peaceful harmonies. In 1963 he began crossing out the discs, almost automatically forming the shape of an eye, and in his final paintings he pared back the intensified drama of the eye pictures, reducing the colors to an ornamental juxtaposition of planes.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Kunstmuseum Bonn, September 20, 2012–February 3, 2013 | Museum Liner, Appenzell, March 17–June 16, 2013\u0026nbsp; | Mönchehaus Museum Goslar, July 14 – September 14, 2013\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003cFONT face=\"Futura Lt BT\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874869637384,"sku":"9783775734332","price":29.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775734332_67cc586e-aab2-4981-9d74-fdf87e8dc317.jpg?v=1744061432","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17195-ernst-wilhelm-nay","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
