The Essence
Conveying
the characteristic fundamentals of a
conceived object by breaking it down
to the very basic elements of
form, color and movement and
at the same time by emphasizing
their interplay with light

"  Though abstracted to the very basic elements of
form and color,  Eveline Henner paintings still reflect
the real object, emphasizing the interplay of light,
color and movement.  They give evidence of an extra-
ordinary talent of handling structural shaping and
color. The artist's way of abstracting her impressions
gained in nature, cities or harbors and transforming
them into new structures is unique ..."

" The most important in her painting is not only her
subtle work with colour, but also the rigid search for
an uncompromising way of composing the painting  
What is especially engaging in her pictures is the
clean line, the careful execution and the lively inter-
play of colours, whereby two dimensional elements  
develop into a composition of mosaic appearance.   
Transforming a perception into areas
dedicated to specific color tones is
one of the characteristic elements
of paintings classified as 'cubist'.

Whereas in art works attributable to
the 'Cubism',  as in it's so called
analytical period, the abstraction
predominantly goes along geometrical
forms,  Eveline Henner's abstraction
always follows the natural  and real
contours of an object well discernible.

Thus her style is referred to as a
'Natural Cubism' and also as a
'Cubist Realism', reflecting nature's
softness and civilisation's squareness,
a style very much her own.

This may recall the style of Picasso's and Braque's
Cubism and also Lionel Feininger's way to deal with
the questions of composition. The particular attrac-
tion of her pictures is the very personal synthesis of
her broad-spectral perceptiveness and her pronoun-
ced capability of shaping and structuring. "
