Summary
Gerhard Mayer's puzzle pictures blend fragments of architecture and landscpae, mingle animal fur with foliage, and cause multihued flowers to bloom within the sparkling colours of fireworks. Thus he capitalises artisically on what makes the puzzle a riddle, which is the origin of the name: namely, the ambiguity of the parts that demands patience of the player. Is it a piece of sky or a bit of sea? Tree trunk or field? In Gerhard Mayer's puzzle pictures, colour and structures establish unsuspected connections.
