For Fruhtrunk the realism is fundamentally dynamism, a game of forces with multiple interferences. His paintings are pure optical provocations : they always go a little too far from the possibilities of accommodation for the eye. By exciting visual activity the stability of the structure of the image gets lost, not being perceived anymore as given, but taken in an uninterrupted procedure of negation and reintegration.

Born in 1923 in Munich, Germany died in 1982
