During the period immediately following the War Götz, in his works on paper, experimented widely with his techniques and imagery, finding in monotypes a rich range of possibilities for manipulating the processes of printing and also making a series of drawings (1945) using an airpump. Phantasmagorical creatures and plant forms began to crowd his woodcuts and watercolours in 1946. He produced a number of monotypes depicting bird-humans, often with satirical titles: here the arrival of the new born is celebrated.</p><p><em>Gallery label, August 2004</em></p>
