Georg Baselitz

Hans-Georg Kern
Born  1938,  Deutschbaselitz,  Germany.
The artist lives and works in Derneburg and Imperia.
Georg Baselitz stands as one of the major figures in the history of German art of the post–war era. Notable for having persistently flown in the face of whatever artistic convention predominated at the time—initially, Social Realism, later Abstraction and Informal Art—Baselitz has been able to claim a place for the last forty years as one of the most markedly original artists on the scene.

The dark of night laps at the edges of The Gleaner, a fire burns on the upper left, and a sunlike shape hovers beneath the lone figure. Yet Georg Baselitz’s monumental, somber work was painted during a decade of well-being in Germany, when the generation of the wirtschaftswunder—the economic miracle—was only interrupted in its relentless quest for stable prosperity by the occasional political scandal or terrorist attack. How does this image, so clearly a representation of an existentialist condition, address the complex issues facing postwar German art and society?...

Georg Kern was born in East Germany and he makes use of a pseudonym, Baselitz, taken from the town of Deutschbaselitz, where he was born in 1938. With his fierce colors and rough brushstroke, Baselitz can be considered the most expressive artist of the group German artist known as 'die Neuen Wilden'.In 1957 he moved to West Berlin. In order to concentrate better on the painterly aspects than on the depiction, Baselitz has been painting his motifs upside down since 1969...

THE ARTIST'S JOKE : The Artist's Joke surveys the rich and diverse uses of humor by avant-garde and contemporary artists. The texts collected in this new reader from London's Whitechapel Gallery examine what Andre Breton called the "lightning bolt" of the unsettlingly comic, as seen in the anarchic wordplay of Duchamp, Picasso, the Dadaists, and Surrealists; Pop's fetish for kitsch and the comic strip; Bruce Nauman's sinister clowns and twisted puns; Richard Prince's joke paintings; art ambushed by feminist wit, from the Dadaism of Hannah Hoch in the 1920s to the politicized conceptualism of Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger in the 1980s; the serenely uncanny in Mike Kelley's installations and the risibly grotesque in Paul McCarthy's; and the strangely comic scenarios of artists as various as Maurizio Cattelan, Andrea Fraser, Raymond Pettibon, and David Shrigley. Artists' writings are accompanied and contextualized by the work of critics and thinkers including Freud, Bergson, Helene Cixous, Slavoj Zizek, Georg Baselitz, Jorg Heiser, Jo Anna Isaak, and Ralph Rugoff.

AFTER MODERN ART 1945-2000 (Oxford History of Art) Modern and contemporary art can be both baffling and beautiful; it can also be innovative, political, and disturbing. This book sets out to provide the first concise interpretation of the period as a whole, clarifying the artists and their works along the way. Closely informed by new critical
approaches, it concentrates on the relationship between American and European art from the end of the Second World War to the eve of the new millennium.
Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, Georg Baselitz and Damien Hirst are among many artists discussed, with careful attention being given to the political and cultural worlds they inhabited. Moving along a clear timeline, the author highlights key movements such
as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptualism, Postmodernism, and performance art to explain the theoretical and issue-based debates that have provided the engine for the art of this period.
