...Later, he focused on Japanese and Chinese woodcuts, studying their
style of representation and division of space. Ultimately, these studies
culminated in his decision to create compositions, which do not occupy the
entire, quadratic area of the picture but incorporate open space. ...
…Dietmar Ramsauer almost exclusively used spruce, a wood that is slightly
brittle to use, although it gains character from its highly expressive
grain…..The visible wood structure is mostly unsuitable for printing, since
the height difference in the structure or printing area is too small, or the
surface is too raw. ...
…His pictures tend towards a more two-dimensional composition that is
almost naively structured. They unveil deliberate simplicity with a quite
unique cham…..While studying the art of print graphics Ramsauer acquired
many different techniques and also experimented with an array of techniques
in graphics. ...
Dietmar Ramsauer's manifold woodcuts and oil paintings on the theme of
wood and its grain are illustrated in this book in a most balanced way.
Short descriptions in three languages define his oeuvre within an overall
context and round up the whole presentation.
