The former senior curator of the Zimmerli Museum Art Museum of Rutger Jeffrey Wechsler said while discussing this work.
On the other hand, Zutrau’s
Kamakura 5/19/63 (fig. 4) is a relatively more
complex composition. Its shapes, varying in
size and shape, have intense colors, including
pink, orange and a bright yellow. While more
intricately constructed than the previous Zutrau work, its color areas are maintained
f
irmly within their borders, and do not diffuse into the background or adjacent shapes,
as happens within the paintings of Vicente and Cavallon.
T
he considerable interest in subtlety that informs Zutrau’s work includes not only the
careful and intricate balancing of adjacent or interlocking forms, but the management
of many high-keyed colors to resolve into a composition with a sense of internal
stability, counteracting the otherwise visually complicating effects of bright patches of
color. (LG Zutrau catalogue)
