Artville Contemporary Artist Of The Day
GEORG BASELITZ,
Title: Auftritt am Sandtreich II – bei + 30 C (Remix),
Year: 2006
Medium: Oil on canvas
Georg Baselitz is one of Germany’s most prolific and well-known living artists. Born in Saxony in 1938 – painter, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. Selecting subject matter (figures, animals, birds, landscapes and still-lifes) and placing them in dramatic settings, Baselitz’ works also place the viewer in a world of heightened self-consciousness to confront the being with the brutalities of history and the human tragedies.
He also partakes of a particular rebel sensibility and – like Camus Homme révolté - examines several countercultural figures and movements to cast anti-heroes as a strategy to liberate the subject matter, from the grotesque one, to the broken soldiers of the Fracture paintings and the inverted figures of the disturbing upside-down paintings.
