About the workIn the post-war years, Willi Baumeister was the first art professor to teach abstract painting. He was searching for the unknown in art and found it in archaic and non-European cultures. “Montaru” is a term invented by Baumeister to evoke the atmosphere of an imagined foreign and distant culture that became the basis of his compositions. His forms are abstract, but display a proximity to natural processes of growth and decay.
