Fred Sieger 1902-1999 . Starting out as an autodidact, Fred Sieger discovered the suggestive power of colour in the 1930s. Initially, he built up his paintings with just patches of colour. After 1945, the forms became more solid and the colours more intense. In addition to that of Matisse and Picasso, the work of Chaim Soutine was a source of inspiration.
