"The painting I call 'Galaxy', while made as a sort of chart to aid in the teaching of color dynamics, symbolizes the great truth that every phenomenon in life involves all of life…that nothing in this world can exist or act by itself alone."
Fritz Trautman was an artist, an architect, a color theorist and a teacher in the Creative Workshop, the Gallery’s studio school. He first came to Rochester because of his friendship with Claude Bragdon, who found Trautman to be a kindred spirit who shared his passionate interest in architecture, design, and philosophical and spiritual matters.
