Style and Subject Matter
Kitzel developed an individual figurative style that evolved toward abstract expressionism while maintaining a connection to subject matter. His early works often drew themes from the world of acrobats, jugglers, and tightrope walkers. Following the events of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956, his paintings were characterized by themes of mourning and threatening scenarios. His work is associated with the "Hallesche Grau," a style noted for its use of gray, movement, and melancholy.
