The Lyrical Abstraction of Ernst Wilhelm Nay: Blue Flood (1960)
Experience the rhythmic vitality of German modernism with this curated pack of 10 postcards featuring Blue Flood (1960) by Ernst Wilhelm Nay. As a central figure in post-war European abstraction, Nay moved beyond mere representation to explore the musicality of color. Blue Flood belongs to a pivotal era where his earlier 'Scheibenbilder' (Disc Paintings) evolved into more fluid, gestural arrangements, capturing a sense of cosmic motion and chromatic depth.
