This stained glass panel is an abstract design of everlasting life created by German artist Johannes Schreiter (b.1930) in 1978. Schreiter is interested in fragility and transience and his forms are often broken, twisted or interrupted. In this characteristic Schreiter panel, no paint has been used; the piece derives its effect from the colour and quality of the glass and the lead-lines. German post-war stained-glass design and the work of Schreiter was very influential in Britain. This panel is a duplicate of a window made for the church of St Laurentius, Niederkalbach, Germany.
