Author Description

The works of Lienhard von Monkiewitsch have an affinity with constructivist, concrete art but violate its laws of purity with experimental curiosity. Beginning with empty interiors and large-scale architectural fragments, Monkiewitsch ultimately turned to the color black. Through his intensive investigation into the Fibonacci numbers, he construed his own vocabulary of the square, which he contrasts--not without a bit a humor--with that of Malevich.
