About this motif
Many contemporary artists give their works titles like fragments of thought that invite the viewer to reflect further. This creates a dialogue between picture and language.
Norbert Mayer's "...Wenn der Trieb einen Gedanken" ("...When the urge a thought") is an abstract work in red and white with strong, gestural areas of colour. The unfinished title leaves open where the thought leads – the picture itself provides the continuation.
