headless into the unknown." Work Painting Fred Friedrich is best known for his paintings which have grown increasingly large scale with his particular mixed-media technique, additions of pigments and alchemy. This results in layers of encrusted surfaces and thick impasto taking viewers on a fantastical 3 dimension escapade. By 1972, while studying informally for few months under Joseph Beuys at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf his stylistic learnings resembled Wolf Vostell´s approach. He work with metal, glass, straw, puppets, cloth, and machines. The use of these materials meant that his art works became temporary and fragile, as Friedrich himself was well aware; he also wanted to showcase the materials in such a way that they were not disguised and could be represented in their natural form. The fragility of his work contrasts with the stark subject matter in his paintings. The use of familiar materials to express ideas was influences be Beuys, Vostell, who used fat, carpet onces and the other machine, metal the other. It is also typical of the Neo-expressionist style. Friedrich continue working in the architecture branch and in world art in the years that followed he incorporated Greek mythology in particular, in his work, and in the next decade he studied the Bible, as well as other religions like the Muslim, and Jew. he went on extended journeys throughout Europe, Africa, and the Middle East: the latter two journeys further influenced his work. Besides paintings, Friedrich created sculptures, watercolours, photographs and woodcuts, using wood in particular to create huge format sculptures he reuse repeatedly in all media over the next decades, lending his work its knotty thematic coherence. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Friedrich made numerous paintings, watercolours, installations on themes interpreted by Richard Wagner in his four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung). In the early 1980s, he continues, with his architect career but in the mid-1980s Friedrich´s, in the limited of a restrictive opportunity to create with freedom, he decided at the best of his life architect career to begin with his own philosophy. The range of his themes broadened to include references to ancient Hebrew, Muslim and Egyptian history, as in the large painting Götterdämmerung (1998-2018). His paintings of the 1990s. in particular explore the universal myths of existence and meaning. So he moulded his new style and start Friedrich and associated with the avant-garde movement that, setting off, "Abstract Expressionism"
