Borrowing geometry from the Concretists and experimentation from counterculture movements, Wiederkehr's colorful oeuvre synthesizes high and low culture
Swiss artist Max Wiederkehr (1935–2008) rejected the art world of his time, instead embracing a nascent subculture. His geometric paintings, comics and other works merge elements of Concrete, Pop and Op art, bridging the gap between the concrete and the Wahnwelten, or "hallucinatory worlds."
