Ludwig Gebhard began with pen-and-ink drawings with fine strokes, then continued his artistic trajectory with the lithograph. Woodcut and linoleum cut were also used, with their planar effects. Gradually, sculpture took the place of painting and he began producing reliefs. From round or elliptical discs, he cut out a series of geometrical elements in consistent succession. With this background, the print 'Lied an den Mond' (Song to the Moon), from 1979, comes into being. In this silkscreen of balanced colors, the diagonal plane varies through space. A decorative effect is produced: the moon and mountains, or the crests of the sea's waves proffering a right angle. ek
