Erwin Pfrang ( *23 October 1951 in Munich) is a German painter and printmaker. == Life and work == Pfrang studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1974-79. Later he spent many years as an independent artist in Montepulciano, Val d’Orcia and Catania, Italy, interrupted by stays in Munich and Augsburg. He presently lives and works in Berlin. Erwin Pfrang is the grandson of the Munich folk comedian Konstantin Pfrang. Carla Schulz-Hoffmann makes an attempt at characterising the painter: “An artist such as Erwin Pfrang inhabits an alternative world, a tiny microcosm of subjectivity, and lives that life uncompromisingly, with all the limitations and hardships that it entails. Among twentieth-century artists a comparable stance can be encountered perhaps in Jean Fautrier, but certainly in Wols. The succinct characterization of the latter’s manner of working by his friend Henry Pierry Roché applies equally well to Pfrang: ‘Wols sheds his drawings as a snail does its shell – naturally and painfully.’”〔Carla Schulz-Hoffmann, "Erwin Pfrang – Die Bilder" in: ''Erwin Pfrang: Bilder'', Exhibition Catalogue: Staatsgalerie moderner Kunst, München, Verlag Fred Jahn, München, 1999, p. 7〕 Erwin Pfrang is represented by gallerists Fred Jahn, Munich and David Nolan, New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erwin Pfrang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
