From the end of the 1940s, the Erfurt-born artist Otto Ritschl leaves behind his artistic beginnings in the style of Expressionism, Surrealism and Cubism. In the early 1950s, he found his personal abstract painting style, which is based on stricter geometric-constructivist forms. The "Composition 49/19" is an important transitional work within his overall oeuvre. This early work, executed in the colors yellow, green, ocher, brown and white, is characterized by a stricter regularity of the asymmetrically arranged color fields, which are interspersed with graphic lineaments, in comparison to the subsequent works created around the last third of the 1950s, which are characterized by an even freer finding of form and a more intensive commitment to color.
