Georg Karl Pfahler, the Hard-Edge Painter the Market Forgot May 2014

As opposed to the more angular, square forms prominent in much of the rest of Pfahler’s oeuvre, the Tex series is characterized by rounded forms. The use of rounded shapes softens the relationship between the hard edges and intense color and offers the viewer a much more congruent visual experience compared to many other works painted by the artist.
