[LCR]

Georg Baselitz (Hans Georg Kern, his pseudonym, he chose the name of the city, in the torus was born - Doychbazelitts) was born and grew up in East Germany. In 1955, he filed papers in the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden, but it is not accepted. In 1956 he enrolled in the College of Fine Arts in East Berlin, but after the second semester was expelled for "political and social immaturity."
A year later he enrolled in the High School of the Arts in West /Berlin, where he discovered the theory of Kandinsky and Malevich. In 1958-59 gg. He met with American painting, which had a great influence on him, and next, 1959, in the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum - the art of Chaim Soutine. Returning from his travels, he left school and started working independently.
Gradually, he developed his own style, which is often called "neo-expressionism."

In 1963, the Berlin gallery Werner and Katz organized his first personal exhibition. The exhibition scandal: few works were confiscated, among other things, a canvas depicting a naked man (Nackter Mann), and self-portrait as a teenager masturbating (Großer Nacht im Eimer) in the gallery was a bailiff. The trial lasted until 1965, when the recovered paintings were returned to the artist.
Baselitz works series. Since 1964, he was willing to go to the lottery graph (etching).
In 1965 he received a scholarship that enabled him to go to Florence to study maneristskuyu engraving
 At the end of 1960. He began his series of "inverted" pictures, thus demonstrating that the image is the subject of the image itself.

In 1972, he had a large exhibition at the Kunsthalle Mannheim, followed by exhibitions in Kunstferyayn in Hamburg and at the Documenta in Kassel (1972, 1977, 1982.), At the Paris Biennale (1985) and the Venice Biennale (1995) in the London Royal Academy (2007).

Here is the translation of several excerpts from an article written by a critic Guillaume Benoit in 2007 on the occasion of the exhibition at the Royal Academy:

Already in the earliest work visible to this crazy ambiguity between the characters, who embody humanity, and their disproporuionalnymi bodies - huge carcasses with a vague outline, packed in military uniforms. That is how the rest of his series of soldiers leaning against a tree - of them are already coming sadness defeat - the direct opposite of romanticism of the heroic death in war ...

The second theme in the work of Baselitz complements these images, it shows that this artist, who was born during the III Reich, it was necessary to disagree with established rules, to rebel - the revolt began to Baselitz very basis of creative work: for example, showing in his work, and death destruction, the artist gives it the evidence of his sagacity, all-seeing madness, he is unable to avert his eyes from the human carnage.

But Baselitz goes even further: he "flips" the prospect of his works, man, like the pork carcass, it turns upside down. Gradually, the artist uses this technique more and more, virtually all of their pictures. Thus, the inverted "Eagle" refutes the symbol of Germany winning. Must know that Baselitz is not satisfied with the fact that simply reverses its work, having completed them. No, he wrote them in the already "upside down" form, and this almost surreal approach to writing picture gives his work a symbolic resonance.
Works Baselitz - it is not decorative painting, far from comfortable, long-established traditions, Baselitz has a personal, constant struggle with his mother: "Conventional portrait does not interest me. I do not even know how to do traditional portraits. I'm writing, thinking about German history, I am writing as a German, as a man connected with the German land. Therefore, I can not even say that I am writing under the inspiration: I just got an idea, the idea of a constant, from my German, Saxon essence.


Dates of creation, technique and dimensions of the work - under the images.
