Georg Baselitz Besuch bei Ernst Ludwig
This exhibition catalog compiles paintings, sculptures, and drawings by Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) during the various phases of his career as an artist. The exhibition opens with important works created during the early 1980s. In 2005, Baselitz revisited his earlier works consisting of cycles of painted visual memories based on old family photographs and his own drawings as a child, and began working on new and different versions of the artworks that he produced several decades ago. He created what have been called remix paintings as well as entire series of ink drawings that feature the heads of Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Erich Heckel. Baselitz returned to the theme of family again for several of his later paintings, including one painting of a couple that represents a direct reference to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and his life partner Erna Schilling. Later he used negative images to create double portraits of Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Erich Heckel, which in turn serve to refer back to his friends of the artists' community "Brücke." This catalog draws on numerous examples to illustrate the multifaceted artistic aspects of the relationship between Baselitz and Kirchner.
