Book excerpt: This anthology brings together over 25 pieces of writing by, and interviews with, the German painter, Georg Baselitz. Known for his rebellious approach to Abstract Expressionism, here Baselitz's discusses the impression his paintings convey, the act of painting, his biography and much more. The artist's own writings cover topics as varied as his first trip abroad to other painters that he considers to be great. The texts shift between these personal pieces - most of which have never been published before - to interviews with Baselitz and a variety of critics and art historians. These conversations present a different voice as he responds to careful and critical questions about his work. Many of the writings and interviews are available in English for the first time. A unique perspective on Georg Baselitz, this collection offers a personal insight on the artist and his relationship to painting.

Book excerpt: I don't want to create a monster, I want to make something which is new, exceptional, something that only I do...something that references tradition, but is still new.--Georg Baselitz. Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by Georg Baselitz. Baselitz's challenging career is a constant process of counterpoint, marked by intense periods of creative activity culminating in a masterpiece or group of master works, followed by a startling renewal and rethinking of the subject. A traditional artisan, he produces paintings, drawings, prints, and wood sculptures, often on a monumental scale. Baselitz has consistently explored what it is to be German and a German artist, although his oeuvre owes as much to a broader range of influences, including Art brut and the drawings and writings of Antonin Artaud, sixteenth century German woodcuts, and African sculptures."

Book excerpt: In 1965/66 Georg Baselitz created the monumental series "The Heroes" and "New Types", which he presented in wild colour and with defiant style. By turning his attention towards the tradition of representational painting his work formed a striking contrast to the trends towards abstraction and Expressionism prevailing during the 1960s, thereby embarking on his own unique path. In his sceptical basic attitude towards post-war Germany Baselitz (* 1938) emphasised in his works the ambivalent aspects of the present in which he lived. His "Heroes" appear correspondingly contradictory with their military fatigues in tatters, their failure as deeply engraved as their resignation. The contrast to the success story of Western Germany's economic miracle could hardly be more sharply defined, but there is more at stake: with this group of works the artist reflected his own position in relation to society. It was the artist's self-assertion and determination of identity that were at stake and that Baselitz formulated so forcefully.

Download or read book Georg Baselitz written by Georg Baselitz and published by Royal Academy Books. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georg Baselitz paints violent and distinctive imagery that is reminiscent stylistically of both German and American Expressionism. To the public he is the painter of upside-down pictures. This extensively illustrated book-which reproduces all the major works from Baselitz's distinguished career-explores his development, revealing an artist whose concerns are derived from his experiences of post-war German society. Essays deal with the philosophical preoccupations of the period and place the artist in the context of late twentieth-century art. The book also examines why the artist paints upside down and the importance of this to our understanding of his art. Baselitz is an artist who has rarely commented about his work. This volume presents for the first time his thoughts about his art and the context within which it is made.

Book excerpt: By the time Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) came to artistic maturity in Germany in the mid-1960s, he had renounced the gestural abstraction prevalent in Europe and America and developed a new aesthetic based upon the figure and its representation as an abstract image. His bold canvases - which began to feature his signature upside-down figures later in the decade - have brought him international recognition, but only now is his important career the subject of a comprehensive survey, organized by the Guggenheim Museum and traveling to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin. This monograph, by Guggenheim Deputy Director and Senior Curator Diane Waldman, documents every phase of the artist's career as a painter and sculptor. New translations of many of Baselitz's writings provide additional insight into his radical use of the figure in painting. A chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensive monograph on one of the most influential and respected artists of our time, Georg Baselitz, who helped define postwar painting. Prolific artist Georg Baselitz has redefined the conventions of a range of media, predominantly painting and sculpture, over the course of his sixty-year career. Born in 1938, Baselitz was expelled from art school in East Berlin in 1956 for “socio-political immaturity,” and moved to the western half of the city. By the late 1950s, he created a striking, identifiable style by reintroducing figurative images into his art. Through his style, he proposed an alternative to the contemporary fashion for abstract art by embracing the human subject. Baselitz’s work also engages with movements in German painting such as expressionism and with painters like Edvard Munch, while reacting to the political and cultural fallout from World War II. This long-awaited monograph follows the development of Baselitz’s unique style from his earliest work through his most recent creations in his eighth decade. Richard Calvocoressi’s masterful construction of a chronological narrative helps unpack the artist’s work in terms of the disruptions in his life—the historical upheavals he witnessed alongside his astonishing career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since 1963, when East Berlin's renowned art academy, Hochschule der Kunste, expelled Georg Baselitz for what's been translated as "sociopolitical immaturity," and the police confiscated work from his first solo show, he's officially been an art-world bad boy. More than 40 years into his career, he's still literally turning his subjects upside down, and he is considered one of Europe's most influential painters. This collection of more than 100 works spanning from Baselitz's earliest years to the present day offers an unparalleled overview of his oeuvre, as well as insight into the subtle changes that have come to his work as he has matured: In recent years the distinctive visual universe that grew out of the artist's study of art, myth and literature has expanded to make room for the personal, for memories of an upbringing in the German and Slavic cultural borderland, for everyday life and his family and for revisiting works by himself and others.
