Atmospheric sumi-e paintings with sun, moon or is it a Zen- ircle? Together with bamboo, grasses, reeds, snow, shadow play, landscape suggested in brushstrokes to abstract improvisation.

SThe play of colors in the moonlight or in the winter landscape lends itself to the simple structures of Japanese ink painting. Light and snow simply appear in the pictures through unpainted surfaces. In the spirit of Zen: strength emerges through weakness.

Marianne Marx-Bleil did not permanently adhere to this strict Zen and Sumi-e maxim, however, but occasionally used red, yellow, silver or gold colors as light, albeit usually in an extremely restrained manner. The moon and the sun do not only shine over Japanese motifs, the same impressions can also be found in the Neckar valley, in Swabian orchards or fields. The impulse simply comes from nature here or there, today and now.
