German painter, graphic artist, draftsman, designer and author. "Aesthetic fashions actually did not interest the artist, modernity very much. His imagery was representational and yet unreal, quiet and irritating, always full of tension. [...] Some of his paintings and prints look as if the world were a mysterious mechanism for him. Again and again technical-looking details, whole strange devices and also mysterious architectural structures appear." (Ulrike Knöfel in an obituary on FM, in Spiegel Kultur, 2019).
