In the mural Magic of Colour, Heinz Friedrich enjoyed a rich opportunity to sing the praises of his chief artistic medium. Here the painter’s characteristic, elegantly supple, expressive forms and highly nuanced colours are given free rein. Parrots, peacocks, a dancer and a harlequin tumble and turn across the surface with great refinement and verve The creator of this world of colour appears in person, dressed as a conjurer on the left. And Friedrich even builds the lines of the facade quite effortlessly into his work.
