The Munich artist Rupprecht Geiger (1908-2009) is one of the leading figures in German post-war art; he took part four times in the documenta in Kassel. Simple geometric forms such as the circle, square, rectangle and oval, as well as luminous colours and strong contrasts are characteristic for his art. Geiger paints abstract "images in space", where colour and light are of central importance: "The sole topic of my painting is colour, it alone is the motif". The colour red is the embodiment of pure light, pure energy and vital force for the artist.
