Lorenz Stoer Prints – Geometry, Perspective & Imagined Ruins
Lorenz Stoer prints place geometric solids among ruined buildings, trees and elaborate scroll-like forms. Repeated edges and shaded planes create spaces that feel both carefully constructed and difficult to navigate. Explore the Geometria et Perspectiva designs alongside geometric art, architecture prints and abstract compositions, comparing solid objects with their intricate surroundings.
An open solid within the ruins
Geometria et Perspectiva, Plate 11 places an angular hollow form near the foreground among tall architectural fragments and bare branches. The varied coloured planes make its edges clear. Smaller steps, openings and broken surfaces continue into the distance, giving the simple central object a much more complicated surrounding space.
Pointed forms stacked in a tall arrangement
Geometria et Perspectiva, Plate 6 gathers sharply faceted solids between ruined walls, tree branches and curling decorative shapes. Different tones separate the faces of each object. The composition combines straight-edged geometry with much looser surrounding curves, making the contrast between constructed planes and ornament particularly noticeable.
A large solid beside a narrow passage
Geometria et Perspectiva, Plate 1 sets a shaded polygonal object close to the viewer, with architectural openings and upright fragments behind it. The central mass blocks part of the route into the image. Compare the broad faces of the solid with the many fine divisions of the surrounding walls and foliage.
Related artists and collections
For later arrangements of intersecting planes, compare Juan Gris and Jean Metzinger; for isolated shapes in open space, explore Rudolf Bauer. The geometric collection develops the formal comparisons, while architecture prints follows the columns, passages and built fragments within these imagined settings.
