ARTISTS
François Fiedler
(1921 - 2001)
born in Kassa, Hungary - died in Paris, France
Fiedler was attracted to the process of painting was promoted by André Malraux that revealed the subjective expression of the artist’s psyche. The key is “free association”. Fiedler began a work with a motif that was spontaneously developed until the work was complete – until it looked and felt “right”. In this sense, there is no fundamental difference between the working method of Pollock or Fiedler. A common trait of the works of the two artists is the multilayered paint applied on canvas. While the layers of paint on Pollock’s canvases do not fully cover the canvas, so that one can literally see through it as far as the canvas, Fiedler fully covered the canvas with thick paint. Although Fiedler was a member of New School of Paris he was utilizing the same “process” as the Abstract Expressionists did in School of New York. He was influenced by Pollock’s and Rothko’s art. Pollock with the unique technical method, Rothko with his large scale, color-field paintings. Instead of traditional tools Fiedler preferred scrapes, knives, trowels, stones, sand. The surfaces are very sculptural and dimensional, they are scratched, scraped and multilayered, relief-like.
