All that glistens is not silver. All that shines in black-and-white is not machine-age steel, or industrial porcelain, or opalescent shell, or pearly flesh, or some other beautiful modern arrangement in light and space. And what else do the following have in common: Curbside effluent, glittering in the night; dank water in a tin bucket, with a slimy rag; the slick, uncooked flesh of a skinned rabbit that looks ripe for bacteria and the kitchen garbage; naked potatoes, clammy sausages, unnameable larva-like somethings; and, set against a stained, layered, darkly lustrous, unspecifiable surface, a can of sardines, opened to reveal its silvered contents, its lid-key stuck to a rip in the negative as if to peel back the surface of the print as well? All are photographs taken in Paris between 1932 and 1942 by the German expatriate Wolfgang Otto Schulze, alias Wols, better known as the founder of Informel painting.

Cy Twombly was an admired abstract artist whose work included random scribbles and marks. His work was improvised. I chose to read this section as part of my 3D works hold an abstract, improvised and automatic style much like Twombly’s.

Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulz Wols was a German/French artist that worked with oils, watercolours and drawing. He was an unhappy person that struggled with mental health. He was a victim to political and social issues. He spent his time making art and drinking. He mainly made small scale works using his favourite mediums by pouring, smearing, spraying, and scratching the materials onto the surface. Wols persisted and pioneered a new style of expression abstraction.

Jackson Pollock was an American abstract artist that worked with oils, enamels, and mixed media. He was a pioneering abstract artist and a painter of the New York School who was nicknamed “Jack the Dripper”. He had problems with alcohol. Pollock's work was best when large scale as it showed his passion, heroic, and monumental way of working. He would place the canvas on the floor and would and would stand in the middle with a can of paint. Pollock's layers of marks would show rhythm and flow.

Very scarce Japanese publication on German painter and photographer Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze, known as Wols, published by Fuji Television Co. in 1977 on the occasion of an exhibition at Gallery 8, Tokyo. Beautifully illustrated throughout in colour and b/w with over 40 works, including chronology, exhibitions history, and bibliography. Exhibition work-list inserted.

Wols was the pseudonym of Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze (27 May 1913, Berlin – 1 September 1951, Paris), a German painter and photographer predominantly active in France. Though broadly unrecognized in his lifetime, he is considered a pioneer of Lyrical Abstraction, one of the most influential artists of the Tachisme movement. He is the author of a book on art theory entitled Aphorismes de Wols.
