Wolfgang Balk: The Colour of Landscape

Tuscany, with its breathtaking expanses and warm southern light, lies at the centre of Wolfgang Balk’s inspiration. After many years as a publisher, he set up his studio in this region of Italy so deeply shaped by the Middle Ages, and there he captures the magic of the landscape in watercolours and oils. The colours of his palette are expanded through rare pigments and self-made paints. Accompanied by a text by Martin Tschechne, this publication brings together for the first time a comprehensive selection of Wolfgang Balk’s abstract, contemplative, impressionist landscape paintings in full-page reproductions
