艺术简介

Will Faber was born on May 25, 1901, in Saarbrücken, Germany.

He began studying painting in Munich in 1924 but went to Berlin in 1926. There he befriended Käthe Kollwitz and Willi Jäckel.

His artistic works at this time had a strong orientation towards Expressionism. In 1934, Faber left Germany to move to Barcelona. In Spain, he began a new phase in his painting. Inspired by the Cubists, Futurists, and Dadaists, Faber blended single letters into his paintings and wove them with calligraphic and pictorial details into a unified whole. His early works of this period show an influence of his artistic friend Joan Miró.

 Will Faber was also fascinated by space and the cosmos. He therefore brought elements of cosmic chaos into his works, creating a chaotic unity.

Fleeing from the Spanish Civil War in 1934, he went to Ibiza.

He was one of the first artists to introduce the international Avant-garde movement into Catalonia. He contributed to the renewal of Barcelona in the fifties together with the “DAU AL SET” Group. His work places him as one of the most notable abstract artists of our time.

After passing through an Expressionist phase his development brought together some of the main movements and tendencies from the early 20th century (Cubism, Surrealism, Fauvism and aesthetics of the Bauhaus Movement) he was influenced by the works of Kandinsky and Paul Klee, as is evident in his pictorical work.

The paintings of Faber stand between the rigorous constructivism and schematic order of space deriving from his Germanic origins and the fantasy of light and color which are closer to the ambiance of the Mediterranean.

Will Faber died in Barcelona (Spain) in 1987 after a long career with numerous exhibitions and honors in Europe and abroad. Barcelona and Ibiza have streets with his name honoring him.
