Gertsch – Gauguin – Munch Cut in Wood Italian Edition
On the occasion of the upcoming 90th birthday of Franz Gertsch, MASI Museum in Lugano invited the artist to plan an exhibition devoted to his oeuvre. This has led to a remarkable and striking meeting between Gertsch’s outstanding woodcuts and the wood engravings by two artists whom he regards as much more than simply pioneer revolutionaries of xylography, Paul Gauguin and Edvard Munch. Despite their historical distance and stylistic divergences, these three artists display profound and unexpected affinities, which extend far beyond the technique they share. The intertwinement of melancholy and eros, a mystical notion of landscape, and an underlying mood of loneliness and the alienness of the artist in society and nature are common central themes.
