Rudolf Schoofs (1932 Goch on the Lower Rhine – 2009 Stuttgart) is one of the most renowned German artists of the post-war period. Starting out from the gesturally emphasised art of Art Informel, Schoofs found his own independent pictorial language over the years. Both landscape scenes and cityscapes can be found in his work, which plays with abstraction and figuration. This exciting combination of the geometric and the organic characterised the aesthetics of Schoof’s oeuvre right up to his most recent works.
