KNUT WOLFGANG MARON

Knut Wolfgang Maron is one of the most important German photographers and is considered a pioneer of modern color photography, especially Polaroid photography.

Maron's color palette takes the viewer into another world. Trees and bushes congeal into a white silhouette. Skies glow yellow, karstic rocks change to blue, soils turn purple and the sea dips into a bright turquoise. Nature seems to glow from within and coagulates into a mirror between dream and memory. The warm tones, the calm compositions draw the eye to the image design of romanticism and radiate a certain sublimity.

He is the representative of the renewed, subjective color photography.

In addition to color photography, Maron works in black and white and digital photography.

Knut Wolfgang Maron studied at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen with Otto Steinert and Erich vom Endt.
